Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY what you can do to be an effective anti-racism advocate.

In fact, in this video, I’m going to share with you a few things that you can put into action right away to fight racism in 2020.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

Even though I’m an advocate, I’ve been quiet on social media about racism. Lots of people are sharing where they stand, what they think, and what you should (or shouldn’t) be doing and saying. This is a difficult time and we need real change.

Some of the things that I share in the video about advocacy include:

• Why the days of the angry advocate are over
• The importance of having real conversations with people who think differently from you
• The phrases that we can use in conversations to help us understand another person’s perspective
• Why you may be wasting your time sharing ideas on social media
• Why I love being an American
• My thoughts about why we need our police officers
• The role that listening plays in connecting with others

In short, this video will show you actionable steps that you can take to effectively advocate against racism in 2020.
