This week I’m doing some knitting, but the thing I’m working the most on is me. I’m reading up on how to fight racism. I’m supporting makers of color. I’m working on being a better person.
GG Made It (Gaye Glasspie) is one of my favorite YouTube shows. She has an amazing video up on Instagram TV about Standing In the Gap. If you are on Instagram I encourage you to watch it.
I had never heard the phrase Stand In The Gap before. I should have known the phrase before now. I will be actively speaking out against racism instead of ignoring side comments I hear. I am done being passive. I don’t want my kids to think being passive is an option. It’s not. We need to speak up. We need to change.

Last year I read ‘Me and White Supremacy’ by Layla F. Saad which I’d highly recommend. I have the PDF edition but it’s now been officially published.

I now have it to read. I also ordered Raising White Kids: Brining up Children in a Racially Unjust America. I want to make sure I am doing right by my kids.

I think we are all works in progress – always more to learn and more to try and to do to be better people! I know I certainly am.
