No matter how you learn best, there are myriad resources available to help approach, begin, continue, or deepen your antiracist journey.
Here are a few resources that have helped me recently, including information about original sources for further reading, listening, and learning.

I share resources often in my stories and save them to be found easily in the Antiracist Work highlight, as a way to share the voices and expertise of leaders in the field that can help us all to learn and grow. THANK YOU to the thought leaders that create and share these resources. #antiracistbookclub #antiracist #blacklivesmatter #thankyou
