Welcome to The AntiRacist Table

At the table — both metaphorically and literally, we work, nourish, celebrate, strategize, grieve, grow, learn, and fight, together and alone.

The AntiRacist Table was created in response to the Racial Reckoning in America, as a way to bring AntiRacism into daily life as a daily practice. Educating Americans about African American history and the Black experience, along with rehumanizing Black people and motivating action to help create an AntiRacist America are our goals.

Ultimately, the choice is up to you–What awaits you is allyship, abolition, co-conspiratorship, and the dismantling of racism in yourself, your family, your community, your school, and your workplace.

Welcome to our table. Changemakers and forces for good unite!

Testimonials

“It has been a very enlightening, heart opening, and challenging experience. Keeping up with each day has been a challenge in itself, but well worth it.  I find myself more and more committed to do the work both inner and outer to be an anti-racist.  I’ve shared pieces of it with colleagues and they have appreciated the resources.  The mindfulness training and journaling has been especially important to do for a place of processing emotions and making commitments.”

“This Challenge has been most amazing in my life.
Thank you so much.
I have been reading and watching antiracist media for the past three years, and I must say that you have curated the absolute BEST work to be part of the challenge.”

“This 30 Day Challenge is a great opportunity for learning some lesser known aspects of American history that have needed wider exposure for a long time, as well as a guide to self transformation around issues of race. Thank you to the creators of this program. It is sorely needed!”

“I’ve been doing this program and it is excellent. So wonderfully curated. And the mindfulness component! It is really great and I have already shared with our admin team. I am hoping to use it with our faculty. Wonderful work!”

“The writings, videos, people’s responses are all moving, and hopefully moving us all to places where we can speak honestly with one another and begin to stand up for one another. Staying silent no longer can be a safe option. Black lives matter. Black lives have to matter.”

“I am so appreciative of how this challenge has been put together. The combination of readings, video, and exercises has been incredibly helpful and meaningful. THANK YOU!”

Nurture the Narrative

Nurture the Narrative is a community space that provides tools to help you incorporate AntiRacism into your daily life as a daily practice. This is a space for education and re-education centered around being an AntiRacist. Spotlighting the importance and power of knowledge, this is a place for positive mirroring where affirming content will amplify our voices. Our Lessons of the Hour will feature short Black history segments as well as a book club on the seminal books, How to be an Antiracist and White Fragility.

We strive to support Black people in the work of healing from racial trauma, daily racial abuse, discrimination, and violence against Black people.

The work of being an AntiRacist will not be completed in one day, one year, or even one decade. We recognize that this work is difficult–the only way out is in, the only way through is through.
