Let me start this post by saying what I wholeheartedly believe. BLACK LIVES MATTER. They do.
I’m not going to use this post to make anything about my own heartbreak over what is happening to our black neighbors. It’s not about me or us (meaning white women… which is the majority of my audience)… it’s about them.
There have been incredible resources shared on social media, and I encourage everyone to dig in and learn. Even those of us who are anti-racist or consider ourselves allies have a lot more learning and growing that we can do. I know I do at least.
Many people have recommended the books White Fragility and Me and White Supremacy to me… both of which are currently free on Amazon at the time of publication. I hope you’ll join me in reading them.
Yesterday, I spent the day reflecting on all that is happening in our country and thinking of ways I can put my money where my mouth is, so to speak, and do something tangible to stand with my black friends fighting injustice. I’ve decided that for the month of June, in addition to my family’s personal donation, I’m going to donate 100% of my blog’s affiliate income to Campaign Zero.
