It’s important to be an ally for all, not just for Black History Month but all day, every day. This is something we strive for at Healthworks and in the wake of all that has happened these past few months, we’ve established a Diversity and Inclusion Training for our leadership team and various clubs to highlight, share resources and educate ourselves around the importance of anti-racism. With that said, we wanted to share some of the recent books our team has read and discussed, or plan to, as well as some additional films, podcasts and other ways we plan to educate ourselves with that we wanted to share with all of you. If you have anything you’d recommend we include here, please email us at healthworks@healthworksfitness.com. Learning is power and we all need to do our part!
