This week’s Race + Power newsletter shines a light on burnout, a big issue in social change work, especially for people of color. We feature an article from our current magazine by Mistinguette Smith, who notes an additional burden for people of color—white backlash. Two links to other pieces on backlash reflect that this is an issue in society at large, not just our sector. Finally, we offer another feature by Tiloma Jayasinghe, Esq., who argues that addressing POC burnout is critical for long-term social change.
