accountable allyship resources
Each newsletter I share not my own wisdom, but that of which I have learned from listening to Black people, Indigenous peoples and people of color. Below is a collective resource page for white people striving to be more informed, genuine, effective allies to people of color. We all learn in different ways and people of color have already shared their stories, perspectives and knowledge with us across multiple mediums - all we have to do is listen.
Please follow, support, and pay the leaders doing this work: Brittany Packnett, Layla Saad, Rachel Cargle, ShiShi Rose and Sonya Renee Taylor.
