how will this challenge help me?
This 21-day Challenge is a comprehensive training on the history of systemic racism, how it shows up in our present society, and specific action steps on how to become anti-racist. After completing the Challenge you will feel more equipped to have difficult conversations, and take anti-racist actions every day, in every aspect of your life.
are there refunds provided?
There are no refunds for this Challenge, as it requires your full commitment, and you receive immediate access to the Challenge upon purchasing it.
Why is this Challenge not free?
Because you have to get some skin in the game. If you’re serious about bringing about positive change, you have to be willing to sacrifice something.
It needs to cost you something. Dealing with systemic racism costs me something every single day.
Having things handed to you for free, on a platter, all the time, steals the opportunity for you to make a mental (and financial) commitment to growth, learning, and bringing about positive change.
Not to mention, my time is valuable. I don’t have to take time away from myself, my family, or my business to teach on this difficult subject matter. It is a small price to pay to begin a process that will not only change your life, but change the lives of generations to come after you.
Life education always comes at a price. Sometimes you pay with your money. Sometimes you pay with your time. Sometimes you pay with both. Either way, the end goal, the transformation, and the end result, is well worth the sacrifice.
Let me also add that, doing this work (while living it), is extremely draining (mentally and emotionally). So yes, I will be paid for my time, research, work, energy, and emotional labor that goes into doing this. Let’s normalize paying Black people for our intellectual property, talent, work, and emotional labor.
Lastly, charging a small fee for access to this Challenge, helps me weed out the trolls, and create a safe space for all of us to connect, and peacefully, and respectfully learn from one another.

“I signed up for Ashani Mfuko’s 21 Day Anti-Racism challenge because my antiracist education and work remain ongoing. I recognize there is no magical end point, and I will never be done. I also wanted to commit myself to a daily practice for three weeks.
Before the challenge, I struggled with maintaining civility while engaging in dialogue with white people who are afraid to have “uncomfortable conversations” while Black people are dying. After doing the 21-day challenge, I feel like I have an obligation, as a person who is actively anti-racist, to maintain my patience but hold my ground in the face of resistance, and even opposition. Ending the dialogue will never change hearts and minds.
I was tested while I was in the midst of completing this challenge by a colleague who tried to use the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. to support a “colorblind” approach to “race relations.” Rather than tell him to f$&@ off like I wanted to, I responded firmly but kindly and educated him about both why his interpretation of Dr. King’s words were incorrect and why advancing colorblindness is ultimately racist. I don’t believe in coincidences (for the most part) and I think the timing lined up as it did for a reason. Immersed in the process of this challenge, I was able to make a heartfelt plea to his humanity in an attempt to change his mind. Whether or not it worked, I know in my heart that I did everything I could with the opportunity I was given to change this man’s narrow and biased worldview. Completing this challenge has helped me recommit to using my privilege, social power, and influence to dismantle systemic racism without losing my sh*#, as anyone who knows me knows I’m prone to do.
I would recommend this challenge to everyone because it helps you unwind, unpack, and unlearn all the lies we’ve been taught to believe about Black people, and to realize how much further we still have to go. Even as someone who actively pursued a college education in Black feminist theory and Black American history, and has continued my antiracist education through law school and beyond, I learned SO MUCH. I can’t say enough about how transformative this experience was for me, and I urge everyone I know to sign up and take the challenge.” ~ Rayne Pearson
I signed up for Ashani Mfuko’s 21 Days of Anti-Racism Challenge because I wanted to make my continuing education of American history a priority. Before the Challenge, I felt like/struggled with how to communicate about systemic racism in America, particularly California. Now, after doing her 21-Day Challenge, I feel motivated to continue these conversations with friends and new people I meet. I would recommend this Challenge to everyone because it is straightforward, concise, an excellent overview/introduction to a challenging but necessary topic.” ~ Lindsay Rickman
“Meet my friend Ashani Mfuko (She/Her) We met years ago through the dance world. Today she is an AntiRacism educator. I recently completed her 21 Day AntiRacism Challenge (and other courses) and I was blown away. She invested so much time, energy and research into creating her curriculum, it’s going to take me a long time to process it all. I am grateful for her guidance and leadership, all done with love. If you need to bring AntiRacism training into your workplace, or your own life, please reach out to Ashani.
This is a lifelong process of learning and unlearning. You will be shocked. You will be angry. But you will be better informed and able to interrupt racism when you see it as well as learn to see systemic racism in our culture. Please follow her on all platforms. Thank you Ashani for all that you do.“ ~ Denise A.
“Thanks so much for this group! I have learned a lot and the structure was great. This definitely jump started my slowed down / mid-pandemic energy and reminded me that one pandemic doesn’t stop the other. I will continue to learn and do anti-racist work. Thanks!” ~ Erika Higgins
“I have loved this challenge and I have nothing but admiration for you, Ashani. I shall be singing your praises from the rooftops.” ~ Johanna Spiers
“If you know me in real life, then you know I don’t want to spend money on anything but books, paint, and hamburgers. Listen up, this woman is a real cool teacher. She’s providing excellent content in a well presented, accessible ( I mean SIMPLE & EXCELLENT) package. For anyone besides me who feels shortchanged by their public school curriculum, spend some time with this program, you won’t leave disappointed. 👁 GUARANTEE” ~ Lindsay Rickman
“Today I completed Ashani Mfuko’s 21 Days of Anti-Racism Challenge along with many, many others like me who aspire to be allies. We completed the Challenge but our work is just beginning.
I signed up for the Challenge because after the murder of George Floyd, I was drawn to posts by LinkedIn thought leaders in #DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
These beautiful eloquent voices – voices that were in pain – began to saturate my news feed. They were angry, they were passionate, they were articulate, and they were relentless. They spoke common sense.
I made the decision to be a person who actively supports Black voices and speaks up with the intent to make a difference. If you have been reading my series, you know how I came to this conclusion and why I’ll always be angry at myself for not arriving here much sooner. But here I am now.
My takeaway is this:
White people, if you have any ability to open your mind and put yourself in others’ shoes… if you’re a good person who cares about the welfare of others… you need to take Ashani’s Challenge. Her syllabus will untangle much of what you take for gospel about American history and culture. You will see uncomfortable, indisputable evidence that the overtly racist direction that we are headed today isn’t new and it isn’t retro. In fact, racism is our roots, our DNA. Politically, legally, culturally. It’s who we are, it’s who we’ve always been.
There is a straight line that connects’ today’s Big Election Lie to the Civil War militias … the prison system … Redlining … Tuskegee … Tulsa … Little Rock … and the 16th Street Baptist Church. It’s a direct continuation. We never properly addressed the ignorance or the willful ignorance and now it has snowballed out of control.
One day recently, Ashani asked us to consider the question, what if white people led the charge to end racism? IMAGINE THAT!
So, let me ask you – why aren’t YOU leading the charge to end racism?” ~ Evan Birkhead
