Global Book Club & Dialogue: “How To Be An Antiracist” By: Ibram X. Kendi 

In the words of Lama Rod Owens: “Shit is complex and super nuanced."

Start Date: TBD & Time: I will send out a survey 
*Please send me a message with your email address ASAP so we can coordinate and select a dates and times. 

Location: Zoom 

What to expect:

A weekly safe and understanding space to have candid facilitated discussions to gain understanding and expand your understanding of how to be anti-racist and systemic racism. This forum, will be a safe space to give people from all backgrounds to have the opportunity to feel and talk it out as we make our way through this book together.

We will listen radically and learn to engage.

It is going to be uncomfortable, but we can either keep denying it or lean into it and try to understand how and why our world is the way that it is.

"What's the problem with not being racist?"

"It is the clam that signifies neutrality:I am not a racist, but neither am I aggressively against racism.' But there is no neutrality in the racism struggle. .... One either allows racial inequities to preserve, as a racist or confronts racial inequities, as an antiracist. There is no in-between safe space of 'not racist' neutrality is a mask for racism. -Ibram X. Kendi
