🎙Racism is the Water not the Shark with Sharon Hurley Hall

Hi Y’all! 👋🏽

We pick up our conversation with Sharon Hurley Hall. We get real about white supremacy and how we as individuals can push back and be anti-racist activists in this current world.

We discuss the audiobook release of her book, I’m Tired of Racism, and how racism is the waters that we swim in, not just the shark. Our conversation held both hope and reality. We discussed how:

• Elevating voices and being a conduit of truth in this moment of racial and social awakening
• Finding hope at the micro and local level, while looking at the global impact
• Pushing back against algorithms and tech
• Going beyond skin color to find “our people”
• Envisioning a new way forward

I hope you enjoy our conversation! You can find the new audiobook release of 'I’m Tired of Racism' on Books2read.com.

Empowering equality and eliminating racism through storytelling and education for systems change.

I’m a Co-Founder of Mission Equality, where we work with start-ups, non-profits and progressive organisations to create a more sustainable approach to leadership and business, and where we’re using progressive education to work at all levels (individual, collective and systemic) to build an alternative to capitalism that we call Equalism.

• Personally curated articles by other anti-racism writers

And I’m the author of Amazon bestseller I’m Tired of Racism, a book that helps Black people experiencing racism feel seen which is also “essential reading for every white person, especially those doing the hard work of anti-racism.” And I speak regularly about about equality and anti-racism.
