I have spent time thinking and analysing what to say based on recent events. But I realised I shouldn't need to plan out everything I'm going to say, it comes from the heart and it comes from the mind.
I've taken this time to educate myself, to reflect on past and present tragic events that have cost many people their lives.
We cannot ignore what's been going on all over the world in regards to discrimination.
No-one deserves to have their pleas of "I can't breathe" to go unheard. No-one deserves to be murdered because of the colour of their skin. No-one should fear for their life and be scared to be approached by those who are there to protect us.
What can we do?
Below are a bunch of different links which will take you to different sites, whether that's to donate, read/listen to educate, or to simple look at accounts on instagram that help spread information and awareness:
Coming up on the Pinterest soon will be more ways to help, more information, and artwork to help raise awareness and spread to positivity.
To everyone out there feeling alone, feeling discriminated against, feeling hurt, angry, empowered, and feeling like just because of the colour of your skin your life isn't as important -
I hear you. I support you. I stand with you.
No freedom until we're equal <3
Stay educated, stay safe.
