Many people find it difficult to talk about race in a meaningful way! Most don't know even try because we aren't taught how! Let's be honest, it is rare to find opportunities to learn how to communicate about race and across identity divisions. If you want to know how your own communication can interrupt and intervene in ways that help dismantle systematic racism, anti-Blackness and "othering" in your own family, communities, workplace, larger society, and even globally, this Primer offers the basic elements to get started! It is part textbook and part reflection journal with a glossary of social justice terms, specific strategies and skills for dialogue across divisions, and a resource section with QR codes to easily access more information on a journey to learn more and do different! The Primer is great for formal courses and book groups providing a better understanding of the backstory of race and how the "stuff" we bring to our own communication about and across identity divisions can create negative or positive interactions. Yes, a goal of the Primer is to build your own capacity, and if you are an employee, administrative leader, or board member of an organization committed to change, you can share what you've learned in the Primer and contribute information and strategies to support your organization's plan to becoming more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
