June 5, 2020

A few resources I thought I would share:

  • and more food…Black Owned Restaurants in Connecticut

  • Don’t know where to start? Start here.

  • Anti-Racism Resources, Content To Diversify Your Feed, & More Ways To Support The Black Community Right Now

    • TV shows: Insecure; Books: Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson; Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson; The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead; An American Marriage by Tayari Jones; Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah; and Becoming by Michelle Obama. Podcasts: 2 Dope Queens; Won't You Date Me? by Nicole Byer; and I haven’t listened to it yet, but I’ve heard great things about The Nod. Instagram: @latonyayvette, @kailah.king, @librarianbae, @anaiseprince, @legendarysuperc, @vaughfender, @mo.marvelous, @twentysomethingplus, @lorenzohall, @loveiswiseillu, @noneesworld, @nifmuhammad, @nnekaj, @alaysiadid, @hannahbronfman, @33mmskin, @iamronnicole, @andreportee, @norah_yarah_rosa, @eggyboom, @monicaahanonu, @jadepurplebrown, @elanbyrd, @reynaoriega, @morelaand, @noadenmon, @solacilike, @rachel.cargle, @hiltoncarter, and so, so many more.

  • Books, books, and more books.

  • I want to be an ally but I don’t know what to do
