I have been thinking and talking a lot lately about what it means to be anti-racist. I belive that the word anti-racist is a verb, not a noun. It’s not something we check off once we’ve done a workshop or read a book. We don’t become anti-racist. It is a lifelong process of being, doing and challenging our internalization of white supremacy culture. All of the workshops and trainings that I lead focus on the need to understand white supremacy and white skin privilege in our bodies, not just intellectually. I continue to challenge myself to look deeply into those uncomfortable and often painful places where white supremacy lives in me. I invite you to join me.
See you on the journey,
Robin
