IST of an ISM™ and Systemically Dominant™ and Systemically Non-Dominant™

“It is about proximity to systemic power at the intersections which positions us to dominance or non-dominance in the context of systemic-social capital! An IST of an ISM is the one that the system was created to benefit. Developmentally, we all can be prejudiced, biased, and perpetuating, etc. However, only the people the system was created to benefit are the IST of an ISM.” ~Debra Debi Jenkins, PhD

 Testimonial

"Dr. Debi, your IST of an ISM work is incredible and has resonated so much with the Black, Brown, Indigenous and other systemically non-dominant (Jenkins, 1995-present) folx we train. Your paradigm challenges white supremacy and reframes critical conversations. Your work has been an essential part of my journey as a white person and remains at the root of the social justice lens and work I do today. You and your work are brilliant! You and your book are such gifts to me and our world!"~ Molly Kennedy, M.Ed., MSW, Social Worker and Social Justice Researcher, Co-Founder of The End in Mind, LLC
