Hi there, I'm one of the mods for debunkingwhite. We recently (ok, not so recently-sorry about the delay) received your request for membership; as part of the intake process, we ask if you could share a little about your interest in anti-racism and what drew you to the community.

Welcome....I am glad that I found such blogs.
