Resources for Self Paced Study
This list is ever-evolving and includes some community members who I have been in learning and community building spaces alongside. Those with an asterisk* are ones that I have not personally engaged with but may have come as a recommendation from my expanded community. I center highlighting resources and educators who are centering expansiveness in our society by paving paths and access for marginalized communities and individuals. Not all resources listed are inclusive in these ways, but many are. Please let me know if If you have suggestions or feedback on this list by using the contact form on the website.
