This book is Anti-Racist: 20 Lessons On How To Wake Up, Take Action, and Do the Work by Tiffany Jewell and illustrated by Aurelia Durand is a call in, not a call out. Jewell, a Black, biracial, cis-gender woman discusses her intersectionality and the privileges that come with it, while also being marginalized. She encourages readers to check in with themselves, to see where they fit inside the box, and where they fit outside the box, and how to move forward to make others more aware of societal structures. Jewell also shares personal experiences in which she has grown, and what she would do if she could go back in time with her current knowledge. She also states that interrupting racial comments is a good thing, but overusing her superpower of interruption can lead into being unheard/ignored. Families will enjoy reading this book together to discuss more in depth the ideas shared within. #IndyPLKids #BlackVoices
