Introducing the Me and White Supremacy Virtual Pilgrimage
As we have mentioned over the last few weeks, I’m embarking on this Virtual Pilgrimage with the book, Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad.

Each week, I will post my short reflections on what I am learning and encountering as I commit to this pilgrimage.
