Doyin Richards believes the best way to combat racism in the U.S. is to empower children and their families to speak up against racist behaviors and social injustice, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Richards, an author and public speaker, founded an online seminar called the Anti-Racism Fight Club in 2020, a year he describes as "a Dumpster fire in so many ways."
"It really culminated when George Floyd was murdered and I looked around and thought, 'What resources are out there? Not only to help white people, but to help kids become anti-racists?'" Richards told TODAY Parents. "There were no places I could find that were adequate, so I created one."
