You may recall this time last year, a few months after we moved to California, my skin started acting up, in a really bad way. It may have been due to the change in air humidity, the different water (California has “hard” water, New York has “soft” water), or probably…
![[From the intro of @rachel.cargle’s 30-day “Do The Work” course]
This course is one designed to be an eye opener and a call to action for those who seek to be allies to black women.
To #DoTheWork one must be intentional in breaking down the systems that continue to
oppress and disenfranchise the black community with black women being the most effected. Going through these daily prompts you will be called to think critically and act tangibly in solidarity. Participating in this will be your first small step in working towards dissolving these systems, institutions and ideologies that continue to
negatively affect black women and their communities yet benefit white people in this country.
Be aware that finishing this 30 day course will not result in a certificate of 'official allyship'. Until white supremacy is completely dismantled there will be continued work to do. This is just the start.
I hope that through my course your heart and mind will unlearn, expand, grapple, dissect, engage, and build a critical awareness that will change the way you move through the world as an ally.
