What LIES Between Us Journal & Guide: Fostering First Steps Toward Racial Healing

This journal and guide is for those who are being stirred toward racial healing but don’t know where to begin. Historically, the race conversation and topic are treacherous waters to navigate and the 'colorblind' approach has robbed us of the framework, language and power to affectively address and dismantle it. Most of us think and talk about race/ism but few of us really understand how it works. When we don’t understand how race/ism actually works (e.g. its about skin color or censoring “racist” language), we are ineffective as bridge builders. We have the right heart, but we don’t have the right tools. Dr. Berry assembled this journal and guide to help begin the process of equipping you with the right tools. This journal and guide are your companion as you take your first steps towards analyzing race/ism and its personal and social effects. Suited for personal or group studies, the journal component helps you self-evaluate your beliefs, ideas, thoughts, and feelings, which is valuable when learning new concepts or beginning to grapple with complex issues that go beyond right and wrong answers. The guide component offers a structured format for engaging in educational content and guided group discussions.
