Here’s what I’m learning: antiracist work needs to become part of my everyday life. I’m looking for ways to take small steps each day, and today I want to share a few of those resources here.
I’m posting these links without further comments because they stand on their own. I started to write anecdotes about my experiences with each, but honestly, you don’t need to know that. I don’t need to center myself. Check these out, and see if they are a good fit for you.
There are many, many more resources than what I’ve gathered in one post, and I welcome others adding comments to share how they are learning.
