This week I talk with Kassidi Jones. She runs the Instagram page @gingers_naps. We discuss antiracism work in the animal welfare world, what that means and looks like, and how she balances mental health in all of this. In the several years that I have been involved in animal rescue and this podcast, I have seen racism and classism at play. I will be the first to admit that I have shied away from being too loud about what I am seeing out of fear of rocking the boat. But this episode has given me the motivation to get louder, make mistakes, and ultimately be a better ally and community member. I really hope you will check out her website www.gingers-naps.com to find the recommended reading list and learn more about business and pages by People of the Global Majority.
