Thick

In eight highly praised treatises on beauty, media, money, and more, Tressie McMillan Cottom—award-winning professor and acclaimed author of Lower Ed—is unapologetically thick: deemed thick where I should have been thin, more where I should have been less, McMillan Cottom refuses to shy away from blending the personal with the political, from bringing her full self and voice to the fore of her analytical work.

The White Ally Toolkit

WE HELP WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE A LITTLE WOKE ABOUT RACISM HAVE MORE PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION WITH OTHER WHITES WHO DON’T SHARE THEIR UNDERSTANDING. The White Ally Toolkit/Ally Conversation Toolkit helps white anti-racism allies do their part in the fight against racism. We empower and equip them with the RACE Method, a unique and effective approach we have designed from best practices of non-violent communication (listening, storytelling, and compassion) and the neuroscience of persuasion. RACE stands for: Reflect, Ask, Connect, Expand.

We are working to help move the racism needle in America. #MovetheNeedle
