Some resources to grow & learn

With recent events transpiring, I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts and some resources that may be helpful in a meaningful way. I feel that while it’s important to voice your thoughts and stand in solidarity, it’s equally important to have a personal investment in wanting to change. For me, this meant educating myself on the history of the black community, how it relates to the South Asian community, and digging into & learning through resources that connect with me. I feel that you have a chance at changing if you’re able to feel and empathize with someone or something. Books, film, art & design help us do that.

I’ve compiled a brief list of resources (books and texts, series & documentaries, artists and designers) that are helping me continue to grow and learn. A hat tip to By The Way Bakery that put together an incredible & exhaustive list with lots of great resources here, and that inspired me to create this list. I’m also super grateful for the incredible artists & designers I’ve discovered in these weeks. SO inspired by their creativity and their work!
