Making RC Accessible to African Heritage People
Barbara Love, International Liberation Reference Person for African Heritage People
I am the International Liberation Reference Person for African Heritage People. My job includes getting the theory and tools of RC into the hands of as many African-heritage people as possible, so that eventually every African-heritage person has the information and access to the tools. They get to decide if and how they want to use them. Our job is to see that they get access to them.
Part of my job is creating the conditions that will make it possible for more African-heritage people to stay in the RC Communities—stopping the revolving door (how you invite your friends in, they stay for a minute or two, and then they are gone). We want to make it possible for more and more of them to find a home in the RC Communities.
We want to help African-heritage people discharge about internalized racism, help white people discharge about racism, and help other People of the Global Majority discharge about internalized racism, racism, and specifically anti-Black racism.
