006_ Are We Finally Waking Up from the Deep Sleep of White Supremacy and Racial Injustice?

This past couple of weeks following the murder of George Floyd, a black man, by a white police officer images, flooded the airwaves and mobilized the citizenship within us, and to come together for true equality and justice.
I am encouraged by what feels like a deep recognition of what is rotten at the core in our social structures built on white supremacy.
It feels like we, collectively, hear the call from our united hearts to examine what we've learned to think or believe, why we're uncomfortable talking about racism -- to break down those systemic structures and make desperately needed reparations. --

Some of the books we've been reading are: So You want to Talk about Race by Ijeoma Oluo,  Me, and White Supremacy. by Layla F. Saad and How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. Each is a very unique voice, powerfully offering education and inviting us to look closely at our own mind, heart, beliefs, actions, and inactions.

Oh, and I just listened to this yummy conversation Brené Brown had with Professor Ibram X. Kendi (How to be an Antiracist) on her podcast Unlocking Us -- Inspiring.

A big thank you to Amy Smith who sent this amazing, in-depth list of education sources and social justice resources to support and get involved in.
