Jenny Booth Potter: Doing Nothing Is No Longer An Option (pt. 1)

Doing Nothing Is No Longer An Option: One Woman’s Journey into Everyday Antiracism

Jenny Booth Potter is on the podcast this week (and next!!) to talk about her recently released book that is a deep dive into her own journey with antiracism work. It's a powerful testimony to what it looks like to engage (especially as a white woman) in the work of antiracism every day, in both big and small ways.

Listen and learn more about how you can embody your faith by engaging in everyday antiracism practices.

In Jenny's own words:
I wrote a book about my own antiracism journey that I’ve been on for the last 20 years. I wrote with the mantra “we impress through our perfection but we connect through our flaws.” I wrote it for YOU - the you who looks at the world and wants to make it more just and looks at your family and wants to end cycles of White silence and inaction and violence and looks at yourself and wants to heal and imagine a better way than the one you’ve been handed. I wrote it because I am raising White children and I don’t want us to just pass on the mess of a racist society to them without trying to clean it up a bit ourselves. And I wrote it to let the lessons I’ve learned over the years go beyond my life and interact with yours -  I can’t wait for you to read it.
