Keep having crucial conversations about race
Having important conversations about race takes a TON of patience. Especially when your conversations don’t seem to be getting anywhere or when the person your talking to just seems flat out resistant.
That’s why I made this video with hopefully helpful reminders.

Facts do a miserable job at changing people’s beliefs. Relationships matter more.
That’s why it’s valuable to have these conversations in the context of relationship. I mean, stand up against racism wherever you see it, but my relationships with other people have set my approach, my expectations, and my focus for doing the work.

All of us have relationships with people who might not be open to paying attention to 13th or reading Ibram X. Kendi, but who would have a conversation with us. That gives each of us a unique and important role to play.
