- diversify what i read and see
- twitter, instagram, newspapers
- books!
- educate myself, learn & listen
- "sit with my own thoughts & discomfort" = notice my thoughts, my privileged instincts, my complicit laziness and my racist defensiveness
- realize that i earn my own money! and put that money to good causes. again and again
- (i will put good causes together here)
- amplify black voices, do not centre myself
- call out racism by other white people
- talk to other white people about it, friends, family
- implement structural change: what can i start to change e.g. the whiteness of the publishing industry? to make diversity a standard when hiring? the underfunding of schools & school libraries? programmes for kids to learn about racism & white privilege? to make universities less white? to make higher education less white & more approachable?
- buy the children in my life books to have a diversified reading list and start or help to have conversations about racism
- commit continously and long-term! again and again
