#86 Staying engaged with anti-racism work

Hey everyone,

happy Friday! I’m coming your way with a short solo episode – a few announcements about my book and upcoming programs as well as some resources and thoughts about staying engaged in anti-racism work beyond the current wave of protest. It’s great that so many more of us are joining in conversations and in action and I hope that we can work together to make sure this movement is never dying down again. I’m talking a bit about how I would like to do better for the podcast, what has helped me stay engaged and also I would like to share a bunch of resources with you:

Books I mentioned: Why I no longer talk about race with white people by Reni Eddo-Lodge, My grandmonther’s hands by Resmaa Menakem, The Colour Purple by Alice Walker as well as Pleasure Activism and Emergent Stategy by adrienne maree brown.

I also mentioned Black Minds Matter UK http://blackmindsmatter.co.uk/and the How to survive the end of the world podcast: https://www.endoftheworldshow.org/

Black owned bookshops & other businesses to support: https://www.ukblackowned.co.uk/

A reading from “The Well” by brontë velez on the for the wild podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20NFKSfxEcI

…this is just a small start, I am committed to bringing you more conversations and resources to continue this work.

Thank you for listening!

Hi, I’m Yarrow

I’m a maker, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
