    Anti-Racism FAQ 


    About the FAQ
    The Anti-racism FAQs was a collaborative effort of the hipmama.com hipTalk discussion boards, with questions and answers written by community members or taken from actual conversations with newcomers to our community.

    The Anti-racism FAQs were edited by Monica Finn, Lisa George, Nadine Mondestin, Tedra Osell, Daria Penta, Michelle Scheidel, and Gzifa Williams. The complementary glossary and recommended reading list was edited by Monica Finn and can be found at http://www.piercer.com/glossary.htmland http://www.piercer.com/morereading.html respectively.
