For Purpose Kids- Books for raising anti-racist kids

Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be A$%holes Part II- Books for Raising Anti-Racist Kids

In this moment, there is so much to learn. 

There are so many voices to amplify, words to sit with, books to read and emotions to process and feel.  It is time for us to listen and begin to understand what so many have been trying to share with us for so long.  The world should be fair, it should be just and it should be equal for all…but it’s not.  Black Lives Matter.
