Building off of her work in her book The Body is Not an Apology, Sonya Renee Taylor discusses key questions about how we view ourselves and each other, how we judge who is worthy of acceptance and justice, and how we can break out of systems that tell us that the only way to survive is to devalue others.Preceding this talk, poet Tara Hardy shares her poem Buses Stop. Resources and FootnotesVideo and Transcript of this talkThe Body is Not an Apology103 Things White People Can Do for Racial JusticeMy, My, My, My, My by Tara HardyMore on Collective ImpactInfographic: What is Collective Impact?Resource List: Getting Started in Collective ImpactThe Intro music, entitled “Running,” was composed by Rafael Krux, and can be found here and is licensed under CC: By 4.0.The outro music, entitled “Deliberate Thought,” was composed by Kevin Macleod.
