So Many Books, So Little Time (and Willpower)
Books have always played an important role in the work of anti-racism and anti-bias. Non-fiction deepens our knowledge and broadens our perspectives. Fiction focused on character development unlocks the inner lives and outer circumstances of others, deepening our empathy. Fighting bias in and around us requires that we be lifelong learners. While reading does not replace action, it can inform and inspire action, which is why I often recommend books in this newsletter.
