The Mom Room Book Club - Aug 2020 - How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi

Book Club Episode: Renee and Jen chat about How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. 

Some of the topics they touch on include; assimilation, generalizing individual behaviour to an entire race, microaggressions, gender racism, and much more! 

"Being neutral or, not seeing colour, helps racism continue. You can only be racist or antiracist. There is nothing in-between. Being neutral helps the oppressor, not the victim. After George Floyd was murdered, something changed inside of me. I realized that not seeing colour does more harm than good." - Renee
