This was not the article I was planning on writing this week. It was not even on my radar to be honest. But then I realized that my silence would mean that I was okay with the disgusting and blatant racism happening in our country right now. So, I hope that this post not only informs you but also brings some positivity to such a horrible time.

Change is possible but it starts with each of us looking at ourselves first because, how can a whole nation change if each of its members aren't willing to change themselves first.

From Privilege to Progress

This is an image of a white and black women standing in unity about ending racism and #showup for people of color.

Melissa DePino and Michelle are the founders of From Privilege to Progress and are strong advocates for #showup for people of color.

@privtoprog

From Privilege To Progress says that they "Coach the next change makers to connect to their purpose." Their Instagram feed is full of resources, videos, photos and Instagram Lives about learning, speaking up and amplifying voices of color.

My Darling Diary

This is a graphic of a verse in the Bible John 13:35 on a black background.

Jessi posted this on Black Tuesday and also mentioned Genesis 1:27 which talks about how ALL men are made in the image and likeness of God.

@my_darling_diary

My Darling Diary is focused on the Christian response to racism. Jessi Afshin, the founder, shares beautiful posts of designs and quotes, which she makes herself, but her real words are in the captions.

She crafts each of them to tell a story and to share insight and sometimes to even share how she is feeling. Her posts are very thought-provoking and always leave me feeling empowered and able to change.

The Great Unlearn

This is an image of founder Rachel Cargle.

Rachel Cargle is the founder of The Great Unlearn and she is dedicated to providing information, knowledge and resources about racism and teaching you how to "unlearn" it.

@thegreatunlearn

The Great Unlearn is an account all about unlearning racism. Founder Rachel Cargle describes it as "A community of everyday human beings committed to curiosity for what is possible in the world."

They have so many amazing graphics, posts and provide monthly syllabi to deepen your knowledge and understanding so that you can take action accordingly.

I hope that this provided you with information about what you can do to research, learn, understand and act on being an anti-racism ally.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
