Day 19. Educating Ourselves
Educating Ourselves
Hello,

For today’s Challenge, we will be discussing the concept and process of educating ourselves. Whether you are beginning the journey to learn about race and race equity or are further along in the learning process, we encourage you to explore just a few of the vast array of resources available for educating yourself even more about these issues.  

From podcasts to books, virtual workshops to movies, you are invited to explore the myriad of engaging and informative materials at your fingertips. Today’s resources offer a few great jumping-off points. 
Participate in a racial equity workshop online including a few listed in this collection by Eventbrite. 
Read these resources curated by the Ad Council, which help you reflect on your own racial identity and the enduring legacy of anti-Black racism in the US.
Check out these resources compiled by Glamour, including some of the best books, podcasts, and films to help educate yourself about race and anti-racism. 
There are so many ways to engage in this year's 21-Day Challenge, featuring new and improved tools to help you reflect, discuss, and make connections through the Challenge. Check them out, and don't forget to use #YWCAEquityChallenge!
