This is a book I have had on my radar for a while, and I’m glad I finally picked it up. I really enjoyed the side notes the author gives throughout the book of edits he’s made to the original text and why. I think it’s a reminder that we all have the ability to make a conscious effort to shift our focus and thoughts when we may not be totally correct. I am wanting to continue to learn, grown, change, adapt, and whatever else I need to do in order to be a better person with all of the people around me and around the world. Being conscious of how I could be and have been racially biased in my thoughts and decisions and understanding that I can continue to make an effort to be better!

As an aspiring educator, I learned so much from this text about how I need to reflect on my practices and intentions. I love how Kendi emphasizes the importance of anti-racist policy over anti-racist education because only the former will definitively bring about positive change. This is an amazing, reframing read!!
