✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 BLACK LIVES MATTER ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
We should all be aware of the current situation that’s transpired throughout the past week. It needs no introduction. I’ve been doing my own research & trying my best to do my part in sharing information on my Instagram for you guys. I wanted to do more.
I wanted to share some links with you guys that have helped me learn more about how to understand what & why things are happening the way they are right now, things I can do to help out by signing petitions or donating to great fundraisers, as well as more resources to just help educate myself more. To give myself time away from being online, I needed to give myself a space to great, which is inherently I use all the time to create content, which helps me mentally. I wanted to share the resources that have not only helped me, but I continue to use & will continue to use to help me stay educated in the best way.
My best advise to handle everything going on is just to continue to educate yourself in the best way & CONTINUE to have dialogue about everything. About what black people are dealing with & what they deal with everyday. Racism. Police brutality and the system. Continue to have this dialoug with close friends and family. A solution can & will come from this.
Please feel free to use, share & save the links to best help yourself, as well as others.
