I had a look at my blog recently, noticing I had a lot of unfinished drafts in the Show Up section - book lists, playlists, thoughts on showing up to this work in a continuous way.

I didn’t know how to publish them at the time, and I still don’t totally know. But I do know that we (white folks) need to be doing this work - we did then, we do now, and it will be ongoing work.

So I’m posting here, as a way to stay accountable to myself and to you - anyone reading this, and as a list of books I have read, am reading, and recommend.

The plan is simple: 1 book a month for a year : the topic is Anti-Racism, and the works will be largely (if not exclusively) written by BIPOC.

The book for June 2020 is So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo.

I am listening to it via Hoopla, which is an audiobook service from a local library in my area.

Should you wish to buy a copy, I would suggest using this list to purchase it from a Black-owned book retailer.
