About Race Against Me

Race Against Me is a blog, channel and podcast on a mission to normalize conversations that are difficult to have, pushed to the side, or covered in subtext. We aim to do this creating safe spaces where all people can come to learn, feel and grow ultimately leading to the rise in human consciousness. We are three young, black and educated women looking to serve history, knowledge and suggestions. We aren't perfect, but we are willing: willing to have tough conversations, willing to hold space for others who have different experiences and willing to have our worldview change.

   Juneteenth with Race Against Me

   On a mission to normalize conversations that are difficult to have, pushed to the side, or covered in subtext by creating a safe space for ALL people. On this episode, we take a journey from January 1, 1863 to June 19, 1865, as we teach, learn, feel and grow. Adding opinions and social commentary, we ensure to connect the parallels of events that occurred then and still occur now.
