#BlackBlogsMatter – Week 2 – The Miseducation of Whypipo
Take a moment to watch this video to understand what inspired the theme for this post.
Because I don’t have the desire or capacity to keep explaining Supremacy, Privilege and Whiteness or why unlearning it is so essential to our collective efforts with Inclusion & Equity, I decided to make a list of resources to share when needed.
Looking for Black influencers and speakers for your event?
- This list of HR influencers created by Micole Garatti is intentionally full of talented, diverse voices

Save this post somewhere for when you need it. And the next time someone has a fragility meltdown or claims they don’t know where to find the resources for this work, send it to them.
But do not waste one more second of time or energy trying to convince or cajole people into improvement when they show know effort in wanting to move beyond their own ignorance. Their miseducation is not your problem to solve.
Resources abound for anyone who wants to learn and do better.
