Anti-Racism Resources

book photography with the pages forming a heart shape to illustrate anti-racism resources

The Black Lives Matter movement urged an acceleration of anti-racism work. We're sharing the resources and voices we can access and learn from to educate ourselves on racism.

One of the things we love to do at Blossom & Preen is have meaningful conversations, and more than ever this means we've been getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. We encourage you to open the dialogue with friends and colleagues, to learn--and unlearn--and to listen.

Educating ourselves is the first step

These lists are not exhaustive but may provide a starting point. They include some of the resources we have accessed so far. We've also added in a lot of recommendations from lists compiled by the New York Times, Bustle, gal-dem, Vogue, Elle, BuzzFeed and Refinery29.
