This week we are having a real conversation from our hearts on the reality of race in our country. We come to this conversation from a place of humility, & with a true desire to learn, grow & come together as a community. We are sharing 5 ideas that might guide us toward a better understanding of how to potentially move forward in our growth & love during this time. We believe what Maya Angelou said so well. “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” We want to know better & do better, & we want to do it together. Please, more than any other episode, share your thoughts & ideas with us. How are you listening, learning & loving in your immediate family & in your community? What are the resources, podcasts & books you are using to guide you? We love you all so very much. At whatever point you are in on your journey we extend so much love & grace & the desire to journey together. Don't try to walk this alone--let's walk alongside each other. So much love, Lacey & Christy Here are some great books for kids on race: https://www.embracerace.org/resources/26-childrens-books-to-support-conversations-on-race-racism-resistance Incredible Resources by Category Recommended by Be the Bridge: https://bethebridge.com/we-recommend/ Some bestselling books on race for adults: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Sociology-Race-Relations/zgbs/books/10582 Please send us your favorites too!
