Send us a message via text message! Link accessible at joyousjustice.buzzsprout.com. ✅Many of us are learning about racial justice and trying to implement DEI in our lives and workplaces, but sometimes we become so stuck in our questions that it keeps us distanced and prevents us from going–and staying–in the deep end. In this conversation, April and Tracie challenge us to get intellectually intimate with the learning and to use our systems of accountability and partnership to stay in this close relationship while also taking ownership of ourselves.Check out our discussion/reflection questions for this episode:  https://joyousjustice.com/blog/jews-talk-racial-justice-ep-74Find April and Tracie's full bios and submit topic suggestions for the show at www.JewsTalkRacialJustice.comSend us a question, idea, insight, or thought:  https://joyousjustice.com/jews-talk-racial-justice-questionsLearn more about Joyous Justice where April is the founding and fabulous (!) director, and Tracie is a senior partner: https://joyousjustice.com/Support the work our Jewish Black & Native woman-led vision for collective liberation here: https://joyousjustice.com/support-our-workRead more of Tracie’s thoughts at her blog: https://www.bmoreincremental.com/Learn more about Racial Justice Launch Pad and join the waitlist: https://joyous-justice.mykajabi.com/rjlp-waitlist-1Join Awareness Accelerator: https://joyous-justice.mykajabi.com/awareness-enrollmentListen to our MLK and Tu B’Shva Episodet: https://joyousjustice.com/blog/jews-talk-racial-justice-ep-71Listen to our episode “Q&A or Q&Stay”: https://joyousjustice.com/blog/jews-talk-racial-justice-ep-69Like our Facebook page to tune into our Facebook lives: https://www.facebook.com/joyousjustice365Request to join our Facebook group, Joyously Pursuing Racial Justice (Beta) (and don’t forget to answer all the questions and agree to the group rules!): https://www.facebook.com/groups/590922415522750/Support the showDiscussion and reflection questions:What in this episode is new for you?
