We are living through a historic point in time, and we have to say the change that comes along with it is long overdue. If we want to leave this earth in a better state then when we entered it then we have to do the deeply personal, and painful work. As our team works through what it means to be actively anti-racist we stand in the truth that it starts with our kids. It is evident that it is the duty of our generation to teach the next generation that Black Lives Matter. So, if you don’t know where to start we recommend making sure the books you read to your children will educate them and also feature black children. We have gone through good old Google and found 20 Black education books to read to your kids. And they happen to all be on Amazon – double bonus!!
