The world needs more allies.
Following the murder of George Floyd and subsequent worldwide protests, the U.S. witnessed an influx of commitments to anti-racism. However, we have only scratched the surface when making the kind of change we all want to see regarding justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI).
Many are asking...
"What's next?"
"What can 'I' do to dismantle systemic racism?"
"What does it mean to be committed to anti-racism?"
