Amplifying Black Voices: Part 1
This is just the starting point, but for now this is a Part 1 Round Up of what and who I’ve been learning from & I hope it can be useful to you too. As well as Anti-Racism Resources, I have included black authors, chefs and writers who inspire me. I’m committed to using my online space better to amplify black voices. Please share with friends and colleagues. I’ve split these resources up into 4 areas:
- Follow and support.
- Watch and listen.
- Books to read and share.
- Sign petitions, donate, write to your MP.
