Resources

Below are some resources to call upon for further support, learning, growth and empowerment. This list is not exhaustive and if you have a resource you believe should be include please feel let me know. Many of these books might be available at your local library, but I also encourage you to ask your friends or family if they have a copy and engage in conversation about it! A thriving community grows through reciprocal learning.
