You may be feeling powerless in the face of combating racism. You may feel that your voice is quiet, that there is no end to centuries of oppression, that your experiences do not qualify you to speak out. This episode will be discussing white allyship for the Black Lives Matter movement as well as combating racism as a whole. This is part one, where we discuss naming racist behavior and beginning the work to unlearn racist behavior.
