Today I am taking a moment to celebrate Black History Month.\xa0To be honest, this moment feels too short and inadequate.\xa0I really wish I planned better for this month because this celebration deserves more attention than what I have created space for.\xa0While I aim to elevate black women and black moms all year long in the SMA, I understand the special importance of taking extra time to do this in February and I have already committed to dedicating more than one episode to this next year.\xa0I hope that in acknowledging my imperfect action here, other white allies will step up their game too.\xa0This is work is crucial, even when the steps feel too small.\xa0Something is better than nothing.\xa0And I vow to keep learning more so I can keep doing more.\xa0\nListen in to learn how to celebrate black history and black women by becoming a better ally and, better yet, an accomplice.\xa0Please take notes as I share powerful resources and a fantastic list of podcasts hosted by black women whom I admire tremendously.\xa0I want you to go subscribe to them all!\nLinks mentioned:\nJoin me at Shameless Mom Con 2020\nPodcasts recommendations:\n\nLaura Cathcart Robbins: The Only One In The Room\n\n\nNikita Burks-Hale: Journey Gurl Magic\n\n\nNaomi Clark: The Outspoken Girlfriend\n\n\nTavona Givens: She Is Still Standing Tavona Givens\n\n\nOmolara Uwemedimo: Supermom Rehab\n\n\nJamila Payne: Daily Success Show\n\n\nNicole Walters: The Nicole Walters Podcast\n\n\nRachel Rodgers: Million Dollar Badass\n\n\nBook recommendations:\n\n So You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo\n\n White Fragility by Robin Diangelo\n\n This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins\n\n Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad\n\n How To Be An Anti Racist by Ibram Kendi\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\n\nBetabrand: Right now, our listeners can get 20% off their first order when you go to betabrand.com/shameless (shameless must be lowercase).\n\n\nNative: For 20% off your first purchase, visit nativedeodorant.com and use promo code shameless at checkout.\n\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
