Building a healthy multiracial society is a goal that is within our reach, but it will require a significant effort from millions of White people. We must recognize racism as our problem and commit to walking an antiracist path. This journey will involve supporting and challenging each other as we learn more about the realities of racism and explore what we can do to address it.

In "Our Problem, Our Path," award-winning author Ali Michael and clinical psychologist Eleonora Bartoli invite White people to join them on an antiracist journey. The authors emphasize the importance of White people building honest, meaningful relationships with People of Color, Native people, and other White people to change systems shaped by racism. They provide strategies for parents and teachers to support White children in becoming contributing members of a healthy multiracial society.

The authors also introduce trauma-informed tools from psychology that enable readers to understand and overcome their own resistance and fear around taking antiracist action. They demonstrate how White people can take antiracist action today, exactly where they are, and as they are.

Our Problem, Our Path is grounded in the understanding that antiracism is a daily, lifelong practice. It supports White people to help one another find the trailhead and start moving on the path toward a more just, equitable, and loving multiracial society for all.

By taking these steps, we can work towards creating a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their race or ethnicity. It will require a collective effort, but with dedication and commitment, we can make a difference.
