1. Learn about the bigger issues
a. White Supremacy Culture; White Fragility
b. What makes racism systemic
- Medicine
- Employment
- Housing
- Education
- Finance
c. Microaggressions
- What the impact is
- How to recognize and respond to Microaggressions when you see them

Etc! The point here is to pursue education yourself

2. Get (appropriately) involved in your (Black) community
a. Patronize Black-owned businesses
b. Volunteer with organizations that serve the Black community
c. Start or join existing Black #EmployeeResourceGroups or #AffinityGroup as an ally-- and remember that #AllyIsAVerb not a label you give yourself
d. Join or contribute to Black professional organizations in your field of expertise, I promise they're out there (i.e. #NSBE )
