Recommended Resources

If there is one thing question that educators receive often from those who choose to dive deep, it would have to be - 'Do you have any resources you can share?'

This page is dedicated to the many resources that I have read, watched, explored, trust, have been recommended and now recommend to you. This list is not exhaustive and I will periodically add to it - I am in continuous study and will continue to update. 

Also, a few questions to ask yourself of the other resources that you may choose, aside from the list below, to inform and educate you on the historical and present day lived experiences of Black and Brown people .....

1. Who is the author/creator of this?

2. Do I feel challenged? What am I challenged about?

3. What narrative is being shared?

4. How is this narrative the same or a challenge to dominant narratives?
