Hello friends, family, and those searching for a place to start,

I have heard so many people who are wondering how to onboard into a conversation about race. I realize that when you are starting your journey; which articles you should read, what books you make a commitment to, and what things you watch is confusing. And while you are thirsty for that knowledge I wanted to offer you a few ways to engage.

The most important thing for you to do right now, if you haven't before, is learn and then act. To listen and then support. To love and be moved to make that love a verb.

This is a place to learn but it is not enough to read a few things and be done. Let what you read galvanize you and get you to working on the various pieces of this puzzle.

In solidarity and love,

Karla Monterroso
