Black lives matter. That’s worth repeating, and we’ll keep repeating it. The team at Align Health Coaching and our families stand unequivocally in solidarity with Black people in the fight for racial justice.
Joining that fight can be intimidating. Being a good ally means unlearning the habits white supremacy has engrained in our minds since we were children. If you’re interested in being a better ally to people of color in the U.S. (and we hope you are), here’s a non-exhaustive list of books the whole family can dig into this summer.
