Marcie Alvis-Walker is a writer and the creator of the blog and Instagram feed, Black Coffee with White Friends and Mockingbird History Lessons. She is passionate about what it means to embrace intersectionality, diversity and inclusion in our daily lives. As a history enthusiast, she believes that learning our comprehensive history from diverse narratives is not only racially healing but also radically anti- racist. She recently moved to Chicago, Illinois with her husband, daughter, and their dog Evie where she reads a lot of books, watches a lot of movies, and drinks a lot of tea and coffee.
In this conversation, Marcie shares some really powerful perspectives and experiences behind hurtful narratives, as well as some personal reflections on faith, religion and identity. We hear the backstory to Black Coffee with White Friends, her upcoming book, and about why creating new norms for our kids is so important.
