Silliness, Soft-Heartedness, and Sincerity - values driven fundraiser.

Very grateful for the anti-racism resources that were brought to my attention through the recent AFP Canada Leadership Retreat. My involvement with AFP Edmonton & Area Chapter has been a wellspring of resources for learning and growing both professionally and as member of my community. In particular, I have appreciated the opportunity to engage with materials that help me confront the ways in which I uphold systems of oppression. Particularly towards black and Indigenous people living in Canada. Here are some tools I'd like to share that are free: Black Canadians: History, Presence, and Anti-Racist Futures as well as Historical, Systemic and Intersectional Antiracism: From Awareness to Action https://lnkd.in/gkJNBC76 These tools are important to me because: 1. They do not require the BIPOC people in your life to answer questions that are emotionally laborious for them. 2. They allow you a space to reflect on the ways you can do better, or behaviours that you need to start/stop. 3. They equip you with the language and facts to support the feelings that are sometimes difficult or uncomfortable to articulate when having conversations about racism. Please take a look and share any resources you have found to be helpful in your commitment to truthfulness and inclusive community building.
