We are witnessing a revolution. BLACK LIVES MATTER. Please educate yourself about white supremacy and privilege, and how it has served you. Look inward and do the work to be anti-racist. I know that I have a lot of work to do, and it’s hard to know what to say as a privileged white woman that has benefitted from this country’s systemic racism. However–silence is complicity, and I’d rather say something imperfect than nothing at all. Having an uncomfortable conversation with ourselves and with our children is a necessity. Face the discomfort of these paramount conversations, and then TAKE ACTION. I’m sharing some resources and links that are helping us as a family, and hope that you will share too.
