Anti-Racism Resources
In 2020, we experienced a long delayed and much needed uprising of voices in outrage over the brutal murders of Elijah McClain, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd - the list continues to grow. What I have taken to heart is the importance of listening to underrepresented voices and to find my own pathway to action, which includes being ready to use my voice as an agent for change whenever the opportunity arises.
There are many lists of resources out there, and I wanted to share with you some of the voices that have moved me personally:

Ms. Emily Bright reached out to me as a homeschool teacher using this page as a resource for her inclusive and anti-racism class. One of her students, Leslie, used her research skills to locate this detailed article, "Building Inclusive AI: Strategies for Training Against Racism". I'm honored to share the results of her critical thinking here on this important emergent conversation
