I thought it wise to add in my story here, during this movement, of how race was introduced to me at ten years old as an actor. This story features a moment where I was told I didn't receive something because a person of color did instead, and how damaging that can be to our society as a whole; no one wins with that mentality.

Easy links to some resources I've used/taken action on, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement:

*demand justice for Breonna Taylor's murderers

Phone numbers and e-mail addresses for Los Angeles City Council members:

*demand they work with the mayor to defund the LAPD (this doesn't mean take away their money in it's entirety)

Make art, because the people who died can't anymore. My example has some names of people of color, who identified as members of the LGBTQA+ group, who were murdered, simply for being themselves:
