YOUR Anti-Racism & Allyship EDUCATION.
what is this site?
We’ll meet you where you are, and provide digestible content on anti-racism.
This is an education hub curated to give white people all the information they need to be anti-racist. We’re removing the jargon, inserting information from experts, highlighting opportunities for change, and connecting white people to resources on how to impactfully use their privilege.
We’ve built a self guided learning program to give you the exact information you need, in the proper order. Since everyone’s allyship journey is starting in a different place, we’ve created a 7 question quiz to get you started and point you in the right direction.
White people are so used to consuming content that is sugar coated and watered down, and it isn’t effective. We need empathy in order to better advocate for POC, so our educational resources are here to take a different approach and educate white people in a way that is direct, empathetic and digestible. Clear messaging is the only way to create sustainable changes in behaviors and systems.
This initiative is completely crowdsourced by people who are committed to turning the tide and recognizing that we all have a role to play. We are allies committed to the learning and spreading knowledge for long term growth and change.

“I have Black friends, I’m not racist!” is quite a giveaway to someone who is racist, but doesn’t acknowledge it within themselves. Understand why denying white privilege in itself is racist, and unlearn convenient truths of the past.
Children and Racism
We know that babies are not born racist, and that they learn these unconscious beliefs based on the world they are raised in. So, how can we do our part to raise anti-racist children?
EMPATHY & RACISM
Empathy is important in all of our relationships in life, but especially in situations that could have racist ramifications. Empathy is malleable, so you can definitely improve your capacity.
