Instead of reading my ice cream post this week, if you are white, please spend some time taking action to increase your own practice of anti-racism. Anti-racism starts with learning and self-reflection but MUST include a component of outside action. The ability to tune it out when you’re uncomfortable is a privilege not afforded to Black people. This website has a lot of good starting points regarding petitions, contacting people in power, and ideas of places to donate. Please reach out to me directly for more info about local efforts or to help think through beginning the work of anti-racism.
If you are Black, thank you for living your best life in this world set up against you. Please take care of yourself and, well, eat some ice cream, if that sounds good! I am working to dismantle white supremacy, and I am here for you.
