Why join?

The only promise I have to give is that I plan to be entirely human here. I plan to helter-skelter. I plan to be rebellious. I plan to break the rules. Sometimes you will find my musings on the world, on politics, on Christianity, on social justice. Most times you will receive a list of book recommendations that are dangerous to the status quo. This is my playground. The place where I can be goofy and serious, bold and unsure, thoughtful but still change my mind as soon as I push publish. I’ll share any fun updates happening in my world- like new books or exciting projects (more joy!!) I publish weekly, but sometimes I get talkative and post more; sometimes I get depressed or busy and post less. When an email does show up from me, you can rest assured that I made a special effort not to waste your time.

Hope you enjoy BANNED.

Subscribers

I really appreciate that you would even consider financially supporting my work. You probably know that things are difficult to antiracist writers, speakers, consultants and activists right now. The 2020 trend has died and the current administration is hellbent on erasing us and our work. So your consideration to show up means the world to me.

Here on BANNED, I would love for you to become a subscriber in order to keep this newsletter free for all. But hear me out… I do have a patreon community where you can become a paid member and receive special benefits- the most important of which is access to a community of antiracism change makers. By supporting my work, here or on patreon, you are helping me build an antiracist body of work as I dream, build and prepare for the future. I’m proud to be BANNED and I sure hope you are too.
