A Framework for Becoming Antiracist
Dr. Andrew Ibrahim created the graphic below, modeled after a COVID public health
graphic, while learning more about the journey to becoming antiracist.
(Ibrahim, n.d.)
Everyone is at a different point in their journey, and this journey is not necessarily
linear.
Some questions for self-reflection:
- Which statements resonate most with where you're at on your journey?
- Which zone do most of those statements lie within?
- Are you where you'd like to be?
- What support do you need on your journey?
