Yesterday's conversation about racism, responsibility, and white accountability highlighted the opportunity (and need) for continued growth and education around these themes.

There are many resources available--this one linked below offers two free self-paced courses as well as blog posts and links to books.

This is a white professional trying to help advance cultural humility and encourage anti-racism for other whites.

I'd like to add this recommendation.

Thank you!

Maybe we should think of a hashtag for future easy access to resources?

@Minholkin @Shelter how about we use blm as the hashtag already established here or is there a better phrase that could be used to help link allies of African culture here? A

@Mauve_matelot @Shelter

Hi Eleanor, I appreciate your suggestion. I think a different phrase that conveys that this is the work of white folks to understand their privilege and to learn how to dismantle racism.

I think it's helpful to note that more effective language would be to reference the BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) community. <3

@Minholkin I could see how BIPOC it a key part of this, I am very interested to see where this phrasing/hashtag evolution goes from here.

It's getting late this side of the pond and I have breakfast shift tomorrow.
