My Anti-Racism ❌Journey Towards Reparations

Earlier this year, I quietly launched ✈️an invite only, Anti-Racism ❌learning community for a group of people who benefit from white privilege💅. The community goal is to go beyond becoming educated and actually do the work♂️.

The beauty of the program is that it is a raw, tell-it-like-it-is approach ♀️to ❌anti-racism. Why is it raw? Because I don’t have the energy to code-switch ♀️or to uphold white fragility anymore. Reclaiming my time!

...

Black people have a unique superhero ability to code switch♂️, meaning change the way we talk 👄and present 💃ourselves to become more acceptable✅ and accessible 🚪in a white world. But shape-shifting is exhausting and it hinders real connections.

So my clients “get the real.” I’m proud to lead such an incredible group who have made a huge impact in the community by giving their time⏰, energy🔥, insights👀, and monetary contributions💸.

...

The interesting thing is that social distancing has allowed me to increase ☄️my leadership capacity📈. This week, we start accepting new people into the program. I’m excited to help more people incorporate a Karen-Proof Way of Living for the next chapter in life.
