Y'all. We need to do better. Supporting the Black Lives Matter movement cannot be about posting on social media but not putting the time in to learn how and why we got here. It should not have taken a black man killed on the streets by a police officer ON CAMERA for everyone to wake up, but here we are. There are much more educated people out there than me. I am taking time to do the f***ing work right now. I compiled lists to help you get started if you have not done so yet. Listen to POC who have been BEGGING people to listen to them for years in the anti-racist movement. Below are the resources I discussed in the episode.
