Anti-Racism Resources

Social Kat Media is committed to diversity, inclusion, equity, and being an anti-racist organization.

I (Kat Tepylo Murphy, owner of Social Kat Media) acknowledge the omnipresent existence of white supremacy and how it supports and affects my business. I am committed to continuing to open my eyes to the systemic racism that exists in our world and affects my daily life and business. I will do the work in my own business, family, and community.

I commit to quarterly anti-racism training and annual donations to organizations that support and empower BIPOC. As a member of The Founders and a board member of INSPIRE, I pledge to make our community an inclusive and welcoming place. I commit to doing better.

Here’s what I’m doing…

Surrounding my daughter with diverse books and toys. Here are some of our favourites:
- Mini Goddesses Dolls
- ABC What can she be?
- Lovevery Play Kits
- Love Makes a Family
- I Am Enough
Attended Reimagining Small Business: a town hall from Hello Seven.
Set up calendar reminders to keep myself accountable and on track.
Diversifying my library and reading about how to be anti-racist, including:
- So You Want to Talk About Race

Diversified my feed - I’m uncomfortable with the lack of diversity in my feed and uncomfortable it took until now for me to realize and do something about it. Here are some great follows:
