Courtney Napier is a writer, journalist, gatherer, and antiracism coach from Raleigh, North Carolina. She is also the founder of Black Oak Society, a collective of Black creatives in the greater Raleigh area. Their flagship publication, BOS Magazine, is a literary magazine focused on giving Black Raleigh her flowers now. Courtney has coached individuals and organizations as they seek to lead and live in a way that undermines white supremacy and honours the humanity of all people.
In this conversation, Courtney shares her perspectives and objectives with learning for liberation’s sake, and why it’s so important for people to understand their local histories - not just what’s taught in traditional classrooms by predominantly white teachers.
Courtney tells us the story behind her workshop, Know Better, Do Better: The Legacy of White Allyship, and how reading exposed her to a part of herself she’d never known.
