What happened?

Have you noticed the drop in prominence of conversations, articles, and energy around racial justice in non-Black spaces?

Even my messages took a hiatus (unfortunately, due to my computer quitting on me suddenly, not because I didn't have anything I wanted to share with you!)

Are you dealing with either (or both) of these common challenges?

What can I DO to be a better ally and antiracist?

How can I best raise antiracist children?

These issues and conversations are not going away for BIPOC (really, as this article points out beautifully, it's not benefitting us to continue to shift back into complacency and status quo if we're non-Black either).

In fact, I just saw the reminder of another Black family, including children, pulled out from their car and forced on the ground as a "mistake" in Aurora, Colorado. This family did not get shot, fortunately, although they now live with the exacerbated racial trauma.  

In other similar cases, people have been shot (Robert Tolan, Bellaire, TX, for example), even getting out of their vehicle in front of their own house, with their parents present and vouching for them.

Nope, these topics are not going away for BIPOC, and you're here because as hard as it is to face the trauma, you don't want to ignore them either.

If you don't want to fall into the status quo with your children and yet find it hard to maintain the consistency and momentum, this article is an excellent reminder and call to action - with specific, applicable ideas for how to continue to engage with our children in meaningful ways.

You matter. You can make a difference. I'm so thankful you're here.
