Day 16. How we talk about race.
Day 16 How We Talk About Race
Hello,

Today's Challenge helps us examine how we talk about race. How we talk about race with our families of origin, friends and chosen family, our children and coworkers, etc., influences how we think about race and respond to racism. How we talk about race can also influence the attitudes and perspectives of the people we're talking to.  

Building on Day 14, today’s resources will explore why talking about race is essential and tools and tips for talking about race better.
