“Someone described racism to me as the smog we breathe. It is all around us; racism is everywhere. Our lives are polluted by racism and it harms us all. The more we are aware of this smog of racism, the better equipped we can become to combat this toxic way of being.”
Tiffany Jewell, This Book Is Anti-Racist: 20 Lessons on How to Wake Up, Take Action, and Do the Work

Ijeoma Oluo
“As long as racism exists to ruin the lives of countless people of color, it should be something that upsets us. But it upsets us because it exists, not because we talk about it. And if you are white, and don’t want to feel any of that pain by having these conversations, then you are asking people of color to continue to bear the entire burden of racism alone.”
Ijeoma Oluo, So You Want to Talk About Race
