Lecia Michelle

I'm a librarian and anti-racist educator. In 2016, the created the Facebook group "Real Talk: WOC & Allies for Racial Justice and Anti-Oppression" to address the importance of white women becoming allies to WOC. Since then, I've spoken on panels, mentored potential allies and written articles about systemic racism. I wrote my book "The White Allies Handbook" because allies needed an action-based resource to help them begin their journey as an ally. It's not enough to read about racism. We must take action. My book is the first step in a lifelong journey of allyship.
