How to Be An Anti-Racist (A Resource Guide)

In order to make real, systemic changes to racism in America, it”s no longer enough to claim that you’re simply “not racist” or “you don’t see color“. We have to be actively anti-racist. You must continuously educate yourself on Black history and how oppressive policies continue to stifle the freedom of Black and Brown people in America, and do the work needed to dismantle them. The first part of that work means educating yourself.

As revolutionary generational wealth builders, we need to understand the history that has forced us into being the first generation in our family to be building wealth. The wealth inequities we face today are a product of systems that were designed to keep us out. We need to understand how anti-Blackness and racism shows up in every system, to make sure we don’t contribute to maintaining these oppressive systems and actively work to change them. 

We have pulled some resources that we believe will be helpful during these frightening and frustrating times. Understanding begins with all of us looking inward, reflecting on our own attitudes, and of course, having difficult conversations with family and friends. Keep scrolling for kid-friendly anti-racist resources.
