I'm Tired of Racism: True Stories of Existing While Black by Sharon Hurley Hall
challenging

inspiring

I’ve spent so much of life sheltered from racism. I’m trying to learn more and to do better. I’m trying to be an antiracist.
Some of the aggressions (micro and macro) Black peoples face are the same ones employed against disabled people or against women and gender-minority people. And so people who live at the intersections of those identities are facing multiple sources of oppression.
Anyways, yes. Racism is exhausting. But it’s vital that we keep listening to these stories. Turning a blind eye isn’t the answer. Nothing will change unless we all work together.
