This post is intended to be a resource for those who have not personally experienced racism but want to learn and become allies. We know that our BIPOC readers and followers have been doing this work all their lives and probably don’t need additional resources (although, hey, these are still great accounts to follow!).
We (Jenn and Kristen), as white women, support our BIPOC readers and followers and commit to doing the anti-racism work required to effect change, and encourage those of you who care about dismantling systematic racism to join us. And to anyone who doesn’t believe anti-racism work has a place here, we hope you’ll remember that, until we can all breathe, none of us can breathe, and our anti-racism stance isn’t going anywhere.
Follow.
Listen.
Believe.
Learn — without asking Black people to teach you.
Most importantly, click on links in all of these accounts’ bios, and support these incredible people and organizations by paying for (or donating to) their books, services, and programs. Do the work, and support, support, support!
Also, a huge thank you to @BexLife for sharing so much info and pointing us to many of the below accounts via her Instagram. She’s been on our podcast before, and was our entry point into much of this work. Rebekah is not an anti-racism educator, but she is amazing to follow and is doing so much, especially with children’s books.
(Account is private. She admits new followers, but don’t be surprised if she kicks you out if you’re not doing work.)
This is far from a comprehensive list. Please leave a comment with other anti-racism accounts from women of color, and we’ll add them to the list.
