Karen Welling is a long-time Somerville resident. She is a social worker/therapist/life coach/musician whose awareness of race began as a child in Brooklyn, NY. It was only in grad school, however, that she began to examine her own thoughts and attitudes about race. Working in human services in the greater Boston area has enabled her to work with people from many countries and cultures. She has participated in her current agency's Equity Committee for seven years, which has provided her with many eye-opening experiences about race. Karen has taken the class, "White People Challenging Racism" twice, in preparation for becoming a facilitator of the class.
