Engage with books, podcasts, trusted online resources, courses, and workshops. Some recommendations are below.Make an active and ongoing personal accountability list…
of all of the ways your will use your privilege for the benefit of others.Connect with white folx who are doing this work.
This is where you direct your questions. You all should create opportunities to learn together.Recognize that this work is not about you.
