hey guys!
i wanted to give a little update/explain my thoughts.
the past few weeks have been really emotional. with everything going on lately, i've been taking some time to process. the world is really crazy right now and it's been really hard for me to wrap my head around. i have a lot stirring inside me–a lot of thoughts and emotions that i've written down but haven't posted.
so many of you are hurting. whether it's due to the virus or the injustices that have plagued our society. there is a lot of pain. i want to let all of you know that i am here. if you need anyone to talk to/vent to/cry to. my dm's are always open on my socials for anyone who needs it.
to my black and brown brothers and sisters, i am standing with you. i am here for you. i am listening. you're voice is powerful. you're life matters and you are IMMENSELY loved. i'm so sorry for your pain. i'm so sorry for my own ignorance and silence. i promise to be better. to love harder. to advocate and educate others. i promise to fight FOR you and WITH you.
i urge all of my fellow white friends to please take a step back and educate yourself on the racial injustices in the world and how we can use our privilege to further the movement against systemic racism.
