If you’re wondering what YOU can do, READ. As a teacher and mother, I can use the power of the word. Here are some great titles to get started. Repost from @illustoria_mag

At Illustoria, we believe it is our responsibility to educate ourselves and our children about racism and how to dismantle systems of oppression. Breaking down these walls begins with ourselves and our families. To that end, we’ve put together a reading list with books about race, white privilege, police brutality, white supremacy, black joy, and activism. This list can be enjoyed by readers from all walks of life, from grownups and children to tweens and teens. We’ve also included books for educators to assist their role in the classroom. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Check it out via link in bio. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This list was made with great help from the San Francisco Public Library @sfpubliclibrary, and Mark Gozonsky, @shmarkozonky writer and LAUSD teacher. ⁠For more resources on children’s lit focused on black and marginalized voices, we highly encourage you to check out @theconsciouskid and @brownbookshelfteam. If there’s a book you’d recommend that’s not on our list, please share in the comments! 📚
.⁠⠀
We’ve created this reading list as part of our week long campaign, #illustoriaweekofaction, in solidarity with communities around the globe seeking justice for black lives cut short by atrocious acts of hate. Illustoria is committed to fighting racism and listening to the unheard. We hope you will join us in remembering the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Nina Pop, Tony McDade and all of the black lives we’ve lost. Thank you.

Took a hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains - yes, we have them in northern CA! I was struck by the beauty - this was where the devastating fires charred the vegetation but look what happened. Such strength, persistence and hope. So grateful to have some open space right in my “backyard”. #hikersofinstagram #shelterathome #nature #beauty #growthmindset

This is my “remote teaching face when all the students have their mics and cameras off and I’m talking to the screen”. #distancelearning #talkingtomyself #teachersofinstagram
