On April 20, 2021, Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd. We have seen some changes throughout the country but still have long way to go to change long standing structures that
perpetuate racism. The fight is overwhelming and tiring at times.
Since then, I've heard many allies say they want to do something, but don’t know what or how to even begin to change the status quo.
My friend and colleague, Rev. Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery (TLC), in her book, Dismantling Racism: Healing Separation From the Inside Out, instills hope that it is possible to achieve racial equity and provides encouragement for the journey. She leads the charge against fear, guilt, and shame that often comes with addressing
racism and guides her readers through the landmines of injustice.
Rev. Dr. TLC provides tools and insights that can help you move beyond the symbolic gestures of racial equity as witnessed in the wake of George Floyd’s murder.
Each chapter offers strategies and reflection questions, plus a section on transforming racial narratives, all designed to help the reader stay focused on the work of racial diversity and inclusion.
Rev. Dr. TLC has woven together her passion for spirituality and psychology to help navigate the often-explosive terrain of racism. Dismantling Racism is a much-needed resource to sustain, uplift, and encourage advocates of racial justice.
The Intimacy of Race is an all-inclusive guidebook for supporters of BIPOC. This book contains real, simple, digestible action steps that you can immediately take to begin the work of
dismantling your privilege and to become an effective agent of change for racial justice.
