Anti-Racism
On this page you'll find a variety of resources for talking to your children about race, racism, and how to be anti-racist.
Black lives don't just matter - Black lives are beautiful. Black lives are powerful. Black lives are needed.
Talking about race and taking steps to become anti-racist isn't always easy and change doesn't happen overnight. If you are interested in a workshop for you, your agency, or family on how to become anti-racist or how to approach the topic with your family, connect with us via phone at (772) 302 3147
