Episode 17- Dear White Friends

32 minutes

This solo show comes on the heels of the major upheaval in our nation and within in our culture.

I have received so many messages, calls and visits from my white friends and I wanted to create a place of reference and love.

This is what was in my heart to say. It may not be popular but I can only speak from my experience.

“Black” is okay to say

Stop telling us about your black best friend in elementary school

Ask your black friends what they need

Tell your black friends that you won’t tolerate racism in your life

Teach and educate your kids about the struggle

Recognize that you have NO idea what we go through. NONE

Listen when your black friends talk.

Speak up when your white friends talk.

Support Black owned businesses, authors, creatives, accounts

Don't vote for Trump.

Stop saying, "I don't see color"

Read. Research. Expand your knowledge base.

Biracial children should be taught their heritage. If you don’t know it: learn it!

You don’t get to decide if you offended me

Stop saying All Lives Matter! The reason we have to single out Blacks is because people obviously don’t feel that our lives matter

It’s okay NOT to march with us. Stay home and educate your people. This is our fight. M

Support the movement but you AREN’T the movement. We are the movement

Silence speaks loudly

I want the following people to know that your love and support has meant the world to me: Allie, Amy, Anita, Audrey, Emily, Glenda, Hayley, Jamie, Kameran, Karyn, Kelley, Lee, Lindsay, Lizzie, Maegan, Misty, Nancy, Paige, Paula, Shannon C., Shannon K, Stevie, and Susan.
