ASK. ANSWER. CONNECT. 

These questions are a powerful starting point from which to create open and honest dialogue around social justice.

Created in collaboration with activist and author Sonya Renee Taylor of The Body is Not An Apology and leadership and personal development facilitator Didier Sylvain, {THE AND} On Racism Edition contains 199 thought-provoking prompts to help you broach the critical topics of racial equity, prejudice, and privilege as you lean in and start learning — from yourself and the relationships around you.

100% of the profit from the sales of the On Racism Edition will be donated equally to the following three non-profit organizations selected by The Skin Deep team and our respected collaborators.

Equal Justice Initiative

The Equal Justice Initiative is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.

Black Youth Project 100

A transformative movement campaign to put an end to the different forms of gender violence that Black women, girls, femmes and gender non-conforming people face every day.

The Brotherhood/Sister Sol

Founded in 1995, The Brotherhood/Sister Sol (Bro/Sis) provides comprehensive, holistic and long-term support services to youth who range in age from eight to twenty-two. The Brotherhood/Sister Sol focuses on issues such as leadership development and educational achievement, sexual responsibility, sexism and misogyny, political education and social justice, Pan-African and Latinx history, and global awareness.

"The On Racism Edition was created as a tool to hold space for the necessary and challenging conversations that need to be had. The prompts are uniquely designed to support the uncomfortable conversations that can reap so much learning and understanding." — Topaz Adizes, founder at THE SKIN DEEP

"...this deck is a powerful step in changing how we think about race and relationships and thereby changing what we do about racism. It is from this point that we can begin making a new equitable world." — Sonya Renee Taylor, founder of The Body is Not An Apology

"Joining the Movement for Black Lives requires lovingly critiquing and healing the racism we’ve internalized. This deck is a start. If you truly want to build beloved community and cultures of belonging, take up these questions." — Didier Sylvain, leadership and personal development facilitator
