- Entrepreneurship
Whew. What a week in Black America. What this week and really any week reminds me of a quote from Will Smith “Racism never went away, it’s simply being recorded.”
The reality is as a nation cannot move forward we cannot truly heal until racist systems + white supremacy is dismantled.
Today is a special episode with Monique Melton, a friend and amazing woman who is an anti-racism educator…..
We discussed so many things within this 60 minute episode. Topics touched included the practice of anti-racism, the assumptions around participating in this work, how anti-blackness materializes in our own communities, self care + what that looks like and how white women can begin using their privilege to begin dismantling oppressive systems especially in the digital space.
Here is a little bit more about Monique
