    Enough is enough. Our pain, our cries, and our need to be seen and heard resonate throughout this entire country. We demand acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police. We call for radical, sustainable solutions that affirm the prosperity of Black lives.

    This work is to educate those who want to be educated. To Be Educated is a series of essays that strive to spread awareness of the Black Lives Movement and the recent events happening in 2020 America after the death of George Floyd. When you read this work, you will learn about the state of America from a non-political perspective. Topics will include racism, police brutality, white supremacy, and many other topics. Resources will also be provided to help support the BLM movement if you're unable to protest due to Covid-19 or fear of persecution. I will also include spaces at the end of each essay to open for discussion between the readers as well as safe spaces for readers to share their grievances and beliefs. _____ My platform had always focused on spreading awareness of bullying. I believe it is my civic duty to use my platform and my writing to give the black community a voice. I'm not a member of the black community. I'm a person of color, an immigrant, low-income, a first-generation college student. I'm passionate about history and social justice. This work is a contribution to the black community, my black readers, and to any of my readers who wish to learn more about the movement and show their support. Thank you and be safe.
