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.
I see the beginnings of a nonfiction graphic book - How to REALLY be an anti racist ❤️
This is sooooooooooooooooo wonderful! I am a mom to 11, 5 adopted, 4 transracially. I am currently writing my 5th book "Diverse Family Inclusion in a Toxic World; One Parent's Thoughtful Response to the Anti-God, Anti-Family Society". I provide many recommended resources, and will include this in my Children's Books section. Thank you for being so brave and very talented. This is a beautifully illustrated book and very well-written. :) I am American, so was my late husband, and so are all my kids!
