Let me start off by saying I am not (even for one second) an expert in this. I am learning right alongside you and have learnt more over the past few weeks than I have in my entire life on what it truly means to be an active anti-racist.

It's not going to be perfect.
I’m going to make mistakes.

And I welcome the learning opportunities no matter how uncomfortable they are (she says taking a deep breath while writing this).

But I have built this platform and this business for a reason way beyond making an income, talking about productivity and being a boss.

I want to make a difference and use my influence in a way that can make a true change.

Below I’m going to list some ACTION steps I’ve taken over the last few weeks (and will continue to take) that I want you to do if you are committed to being actively anti-racist.

And if you’re not, I’d like you to unfollow me, because while I’ve done a poor job at explicitly expressing & living it (that changes now, both internally as a human and inside my business), inclusivity + diversity are values of mine as a human and as an online coach.
