So much has happened in the world in 2020, and I understand how it may feel overwhelming. In times of social unrest, people have historically sought escapism—and Wattpad, as primarily a space for entertainment, is one of many ways to find it. It's nice to set the real world aside for a while; I know I have been doing a lot of reading.
But pain, injustice, systematic oppression—these are things the black community (and minorities as a whole) has never had the luxury to escape. If you have been able to turn a blind eye to these issues, that is a privilege you should no longer feel comfortable living with.
I know with the number of resources and links and petitions circling around social media, it can be hard to know where to start helping. For that reason, I've added a link to a master list created by a good friend of mine. I strongly recommend you check it out if you've yet to do anything about what is happening.
