ShaRhonda's Racial Crossfit Curriculum
White people, with all the racial turmoil in our world, do you want “do something” about racism? Well, today is your lucky day! I've got a new anti-racist curriculum for you that I call “Racial Crossfit”!
You aren’t afraid of a little hard work and discomfort, right?
Four people I grew up were charged as adults and sentenced to life in prison and they were 16 and under (the youngest was 14) for murder. They did it. That’s not my issue. They were guilty and they forever changed the lives of the victims’ families, friends, and community. […]
The most common form of permanent brokenness I’ve seen in women has to do with pregnancy-related issues. From miscarriages (1-3 pregnancies end with miscarriage) to infertility, to abortions, to pregnancy complications both during and after, every woman that has experienced issues with pregnancy, and that is almost every adult woman […]
The goal of anti-racism work is not racial integration; the purpose of anti-racism work is racial equity. Black people can still be oppressed in integrated schools, neighborhoods, and jobs. The goal of anti-racist work is to undo the tangible harm done by the racist American system. It doesn’t matter if […]

Racism PSA: You are probably complicit in racism… If you are White, and nothing in your life has changed since George Floyd and/or Breonna Taylor were murdered. If you are relatively unbothered in your daily life. If you are still talking with your racist friends/family and/or supporting racist businesses (yup, […]
One of my first thoughts after watching the murder of Adam Toledo was I could tell how bad the police officer felt. It was evident that he made a mistake and was traumatized. I hope we can give all the folks who commit murder the same sympathy and understanding. Many […]
The 2nd most offensive to White folks is when they are called a White Supremacist (1st word is being called a racist). But many White folks get mad but don’t know what “white supremacist” means. So, I’ll help: White Supremacist believes that White culture (western culture/traditions/theories/clothes/looks/religion etc.) is better than […]
