If you’ve got questions on where to start, where to donate and how to support the Black Lives Matter movement (or, would just simply like some more resources) then here are some suggestions for you :-)
We've collated a list of books, films, tv series, podcasts and links to serve as a resource for our members, followers, and friends to further support their anti-racism work. Feel free to share this page with as many people you would like. If you would like to reach out to us for support or have any ideas on how we can further this movement, please don't hesitate to reach out. We will be reading and responding to all emails as well as social messages and would love to hear any suggestions you may have. If you haven’t engaged in anti-racism work in the past, start now.
