Racism is bad. It's bad for business. It's bad for the body. It's bad for the soul. 

Most people aren't intentionally racist. But like it or not, racism is baked into the very structures of our society. 

Yet it doesn't have to persist. We can put a stop to it. 

This workbook is a step in that direction.

For nearly a decade, Coffee With A Black Guy has facilitated hundreds of authentic conversations about race, perspective, privilege, and belonging.
The CWABG approach and the lived experience during the arc of this work is distilled into a structured, modular learning journey — one that can be adapted for any organization, industry, or community setting.

"Art is a weapon we need.
Not a weapon of destruction.
A weapon of construction.
I now have a deeper understanding of that:
Art disrupts erasure.
Art interrupts silence.
Art insists on presence —being seen and experienced.
When oppressive regimes and shifting systems narrow our humanity, art expands it.
When rhetoric, misinformation and lies flattens us, art adds texture.
When fear builds walls and drives chasms of divisiveness, art sketches doors and constructs bridges to greater understanding.
Black people have always understood this."

I’ve been in a season of pivot — sending resumes, making connections, and searching for the right place to bring value, purpose, and impact.

In the process, I find that I can become tattered by rejection letters.

I remind myself that they're not marks of failure — they’re reminders that purpose doesn’t quit.

This is the start of a series I’m calling Purpose Don't Quit — Because transparency inspires connection. And persistence reveals purpose.

At Coffee with a Black Guy, we believe conversations can change culture.

The latest essay by founder James Joyce III takes on one word — one that carries centuries of weight, conflict, and complexity. It’s not about sensationalism; it’s about the realities we all live with, and the conversations educators, antiracists, and community builders need to keep having.
