The Writer: Sheena Michele Mason

Sheena Michele Mason's first book Theory of Racelessness: A Case For Antirace(ism), a textbook, presents an alternative philosophy of race and the theory of racelessness, an analytical and teaching framework for understanding “race” and stopping racism and its effects. It also presents a philosophy of race, culture, and ethnicity. Inspired by her theory, she co-founded Theory of Racelessness, an educational firm that helps people use alternative philosophies of race and her theory to achieve truly antirace(ist) outcomes. Her new digital publication Abolishing Race(ism), features all things racelessness, a synonym for limitlessness. Follow her on Twitter.
