With racial inequity and injustice staring us in the face, I’m trying to move from saying I will learn more and do better to showing what I’m learning and what I’m doing about it.
A good starting point for me has been Ibram X. Kendi‘s book How to Be an Antiracist.
In the video above I sketch out some helpful definitions from the first chapter of the book.
Here’s how they all come together:

I’ve always considered sketchnoting to be a superpower.
It’s a creative skill that helps us to process new ideas and share those ideas with others.
I encourage you to not shy away from difficult ideas and the uncomfortable feelings and conversations that might crop up as a result.
Let sketchnoting be a gateway to deeper understanding and a bridge between ideas and action.
These are the ideas that I’m finding to be the most important to engage with right now: An Antiracist Reading List.
