Episode Synopsis

Reminder that I do NOT and could never speak for any Black man or woman on their experiences. This episode is simply a reflective one from a White woman's perspective.Before continuing on with guest episodes, I felt it necessary to touch on the reflections and realizations I've made as a White cis woman, including the internalized racism I've noticed in my own life, color blindness, systemic oppression, white privilege, and more.I also share some takeaways from informative books I have been reading, including White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo and How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.I look forward to including more Black voices and stories on the show in the near future, as well. Stay tuned for those episodes.This movement is only beginning. I am committed to continuously educating myself, listening to and believing Black voices, being accountable, owning up to my mistakes, and working every day to intentionally be anti-racist. Black Lives Matter. Black lives are loved, worthy, valued, and needed.RESOURCES:JUSTICE FOR BREONNA TAYLORANTI-RACISM RESOURCESSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK:@trustandthriveTWITTER: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontWEBSITE: www.tara-mont.comEMAIL: [email protected]
