Please share our message and let us know your story as we can all learn from each other.If anyone has any questions or would like to discuss anti-racism and learn different ways to support the black community, please reach out to me. I'd be happy to send you a few resources. There are so many research articles that discuss how deeply rooted our society is in 'white culture,' and how 'white ideals' are impacting those who do not identify as being 'white.' I could discuss the disparities all day, but I will leave you with this-- change happens when there is purpose and intention to act. Not only have tough conversations with your white peers, but follow up those conversations with action. Through effective action, is when we will truly see impactful change. --Nina____ Suggested Reading (mentioned in podcast) + other resources White Fragility: Why it's so hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin Diangelo The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle AlexanderHow To Be An Anti-Racist by Ibram X.
