How to Be an Antiracist | Ibram X. Kendi
post image

I‘m finding strength in people that are prepared to fight (civil rights organizations, the ACLU, women‘s rights groups, etc). I‘m hoping that as a family we‘ll fair the storm but it‘s also scary. My husband is now a government contractor & he has funding for the next 4 years but no one in the government really knows what to prepare for right now. My oldest is a wildlife biologist major & he is fearful for his future, the environment. He said all

ncsufoxes His professors are wrecked & devastated. My 15 year old is Autistic, so I know that there will probably be cuts to everything for him. I also have a daughter that dreams of being an astronaut but I‘m scared for her as a female. I‘m sad & scared for so many other people & families that I know are facing much scarier possibilities right now. It‘s just sad & frustrating that we are at this point again. We know what to expect but we don‘t know what 1w

dabbe We have to mourn, rage, mourn, rage .... and then regroup and fight the GOOD fight. It may be trite, but I love what Samwise Gamgee saysL “A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.” 🤎🧡🧡 1w

“White privilege is about the word white, not rich. It's having advantage built into your life. It's not saying your life hasn't been hard; it's saying your skin color hasn't contributed to the difficulty in your life.”

An important read. Because being an Ally means more than just saying you support Black Lives. It means doing your homework and listening to the lived experience of those you support.

5/5 ⭐
It had more autobiographical content than I expected, but it was useful to understand and contextualize the concepts that were explained.
I learned a lot and I need to keep on learning. I think this is one of those books everyone should read.

I opened the door to find some unexpected book mail! I often enter the book drawings on Goodreads and Storygraph for authors I follow, but I thought I‘d be notified if I won one. I guess not 😆 Very excited to read this dense graphic novel and to have it in my collection.

A short but powerful book that packs a punch; a necessary read. Each book I read on my anti-racist journey is telling the world and me the same thing. I learn something from every Black voice, every word, every page. The author shares her struggles within a sea of white from her childhood, adolescence, and as an adult. She rightfully criticizes the church and demands it let its white superiority go, demands it do more. Demands a radical love.

CogsOfEncouragement I enjoyed this one too. 7mo
Deblovestoread Great review and gorgeous photo. 7mo
JenniferEgnor @Deblovestoread that is one of my prized roses. I took the photo this morning during ‘the golden hour‘. Those are two things that allow me some hope in what feels like a very dark time. 7mo

This memoir astonished and altered me. Coming of age as an American Sikh in the aftermath of 9/11, Valarie Kaur‘s dedication to making a difference and her extraordinary courage in the face of hate crimes, police brutality, and sexual assault are made only more remarkable by her resilient compassion toward those who‘d harm her. Read this if you believe a better world takes both courage and kindness and you‘d like to become more of both.
