Literati is a book subscription service that’s tailored to the age of your kids and delivers quality books straight to your door. Rich and I are proud investors (and paying customers!) of this company and have long appreciated that the children’s books we receive always include diverse faces and people of color. Check out their most recent Instagram post for an excellent reading list for children of all ages to add to every parent’s anti-racism efforts in raising their kids. One of my personal favorites is the book Colette and I are reading in the image at the top of this page, The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson. I can’t tell you how deeply this book’s message of inclusivity and celebrating diversity resonated with me. Heck, even if you don’t have children, read this book.

After a lot of listening, learning and reflecting over the past week, I’m eager to enact change—lasting, meaningful change. Becoming a better anti-racist ally means reevaluating how we think, how we act, how we treat each other, and yes—how we shop! This week, while listening to some helpful, eye-opening podcasts (like this one!) I spent some time discovering many incredible black-owned businesses online. Below, I’m sharing eleven products I’ve purchased that I can’t wait to try and of course, I’ll report back on each once they get here! I hope you’ll join me in thinking a little differently about where and who you’re buying from and how our shopping practices can be more inclusive every day.
P.S. I also included several children’s books that I purchased last weekend along with anti-racism resources in this week’s Monday Memo. Click here if you missed it!
