11 Reasons to Become Race Literate

Race literacy changes everything. It changes the way we view ourselves and our nation. Race literacy gives us the proper context in which to ground our conversations on Race. It touches our heart, and leaves us free to have healthier relationships, and greater compassion for self and other. We don't know what we don't know, but if we open ourselves up to new possibilities, everything changes. Written to be read in under an hour, this book is meant to spark thoughts and conversations leading to new ways of being. Starting with REASON 1 - Relieve Stress and Fragility; through REASON 5 - What We Don't Know Can Hurt Us; and on to REASON 11 - It Sets Us Free, 11 REASONS TO BECOME RACE LITERATE: A Pocket guide to a new conversation, leads its readers through a journey and a rediscovery of ourselves, our communities, and our nation. This book is for those who find it uncomfortable to have a conversation about race and who could benefit from more information on the subject. The book is based on my own journey of learning about Race in America through 25 years of creating and facilitating seminars and the understanding needed to make a personal and collective transformation.
