Explore the Impacts of Internalized Racism

Not just what it is - learn what to do with it.

I've been thinking about internalized racism racism for many years. And about liberation. What I know is that the world that is possible will not be accessible to any one without a deep exploration and excavation of our internalized racism. I know that it is possible to live from a liberatory perspective and experience in a system framed by racism because I do it every day. I want you to, also.
