EP #7: The 21 Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge with Debby Irving

On this episode of “Active Allyship…it’s more than a #hashtag!”
Sunni and Lisa discuss moments of awakening in the realm of
social justice with Debby Irving during The 21-Day Racial Equity
Habit Building Challenge interview.  On their newly
introduced segment called, “Did you Know?” Sunni and Lisa tackle
another painful reminder of what it’s like to be black in America
- the Aurora Police incident in which a black mother and her
children were wrongfully detained and made to lie facedown on hot
asphalt. Straight B.S., but you’ll have to listen to get our
thoughts on the matter.





There is so much taking place in these United States of America,
to include being in the midst of “two pandemics and a
revolution”.  We know you’re wondering, what two pandemics?
Well, put your earphones on and have a listen! Hint: white
supremacy is a pandemic!  Anyway, we wanted to share tools
that would be useful in assisting to bridge the gap, creating a
better understanding.  The 21- Day Racial Equity Habit
Building Challenge interview with Debby Irving is informative,
eye-opening and quite honestly, rather revealing.  Debby
shares what she was “marinated” in as a child growing up in white
suburbia and the impact it had on her life, mentally, emotionally
and physically.  Transparency is the word that comes to mind
when listening to this conversation.  Debbie is very
transparent about her upbringing and the connection to her
“awakening”.  





Now, back to The 21- Day Racial Equity Habit Challenge, (which by
the way, “was first hatched by Dr. Eddie Moore Jr.” fingers
crossed, we’ll have him on the show as well), this tool provides
a variety of options for engagement and learning - “For 21 days,
do one action to further your understanding of power, privilege,
supremacy, oppression and equity.”  If you haven’t already,
join our Active Allyship…it’s more than a #hashtag! Facebook
Group to participate in the challenge we are launching. Our goal
is to inform, engage and act!  Yes, the word “ally” is a
verb, requiring action - no nouns around here!
