Over the last few weeks, Ibram Kendi’s book How to be an Antiracist has risen to the top of the best-selling nonfiction books list. He has some really thought provoking insight about the distinction between “I’m not racist” and “I’m an anti- racist”. Ibram was on the Armchair Expert podcast last week if you want to hear a long-format interview on the topic:
On the same theme of tolerance and inclusion… this week, we also saw two pivotal Supreme Court decisions – the first said that the Civil Rights Act protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination and the second decision blocked the administration’s attempt to end DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) which protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the US as children from deportation. Both of these topics are very important to me as I have friends and family that are impacted by these decisions. I’ll take these wins in light of all the challenges of 2020!
