The driver called the police when the pair didn’t sit down on the busy vehicle right away.

We internalize that racism,” she remembered. That internalized racism is part of Debs’ everyday experience – and it’s something she wants to talk about now, through The Inclusivity & Diversity Online Course, offered at her yoga studio, Juici Yoga. https://www.selamdebs.com/antiracism-guide daily 0.75 2023-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f581a821fa20f49d3170463/1609528875295-K4FW0VM1W9G971SRWK5M/Antiracism+Guide FREE Guide - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.selamdebs.com/freeworkshop daily 0.75 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f581a821fa20f49d3170463/1631742586644-VDTM8UST426VCGZKCLS3/Live+Button.png FREE ANTIRACISM WORKSHOP - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f581a821fa20f49d3170463/ab834e3e-06d0-4082-91b5-0969814078ed/image-asset.jpeg FREE ANTIRACISM WORKSHOP - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f581a821fa20f49d3170463/1631742682944-Q6NK7MR8MYRKEWYV0SZP/Live+Button.png FREE ANTIRACISM WORKSHOP - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.selamdebs.com/free-antiracism-workshop-thank-you-page-facebook daily 0.75 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f581a821fa20f49d3170463/1631741749459-82N1X1WQM54W6NB70JUJ/Please+Open+your+email+from+Selam+Debs+to+Confirm+your+Workshop+Seat%21+%281%29.png Free Antiracism Workshop - Thank You page (Facebook) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.selamdebs.com/antiracism-guide-birds-papaya daily 0.75 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f581a821fa20f49d3170463/1609528875295-K4FW0VM1W9G971SRWK5M/Ebook+cover+on+iPad+v2.png FREE Antiracism Guide (Birds Papaya) - FREE Antiracism Guide to Move Beyond Allyship In this (Free) 8-page PDF Guide you’ll learn 3 Ways You're Harming Black Folks and How To Do Better.

My Antiracism work is rooted in the understanding that we must acknowledge and identify the insidiousness of white supremacy before we can dismantle colonial belief systems and structures.
