Britt Hawthorne (she/they) is the author of the highly anticipated New York Times bestseller, Raising Antiracist Children: A Practical Parenting Guide (Simon Element, 2022). The book is an interactive guide for strategically incorporating the tools of inclusivity into everyday life and parenting.
She is committed to raising a generation of antiracist children by centering families of the global majority and fostering equitable learning environments for students and children of all ages and backgrounds.

She partners with action-oriented educators to create classroom environments that are inclusive and equitable for all learners.
Britt was an antiracist educator in the classroom but was pushed out of teaching when her two Black sons experienced educational racism. Now, as an anti-racist facilitator, she creates spaces where the intersection of education and social justice may be explored. Her honest and inspiring journey to create space, documented on Instagram, has since garnered over 100k engaged readers as well as a deeply committed online community.
