Equity and Racial Justice Resources Primer, Part 1
compiled by
Barbie~Danielle DeCarlo
Founder, Creative Media Leadership Network

I've heard two quotes that affirm the power of dialog, the first step to healing the -isms of race: "You can't shake hands with a clenched fist," and "It's impossible to hate someone who's story you know."

As we work toward being well-rounded and well-adjusted social, practical, mental and spiritual healers - across all vocations, callings, disciplines, professions and career paths - we're called to learn many languages of life, those we are born into and those of others - many of whom cross our paths seeking or bringing healing. As we become responsible and accountable human beings - for ourselves and to each other - so widens the circle of love, support, and peace.

Please forward widely the resources below. And please add your suggestions!! This is a basic beginning guide into understanding how to dialogue about race.
Part 2 is revisions and add-ons.

Thank you!
