I hope you are all thriving as you continue on your antiracist journey. This month has felt extra long to me and has been full of learning, falling flat on my face and dusting off and getting back up again. It has also been full of love, joy, and deep personal growth. I am so grateful for all the amazing people whose shoulders I stand on, whose arms I’ve cried in and with whom I’ve laughed. I started this blog over 2 years ago as a way to pay it forward and share resources. I have learned so much from all of you and am deeply honored that you are part of my anti-racist community. This month’s blog is dedicated to you!
See you on the journey,
Robin
