WHAT TO EXPECT
Amplify Your Voice Through Powerful Conversation
"The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist.
Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself.
And it's the only way forward."
~Ijeoma Oluo
