When everything started, I thought that the best way to show
support as a white woman was to stand aside and let others have a chance to
speak. Enough silence.
It’s important that we listen to People of Color at this
time, so I won’t talk to you about the lack of justice or the absolute tragedy
that is gripping our nation. I will make it very clear here and now that I
support Black Lives Matter and am doing all that I can to see that things
change.
If you wish to help, I am providing a couple of links for
you to check out. Even if you can’t do much, let people know that you stand
with them. Start reading books with diverse authors. Reach out to your POC
friends and make sure that they’re doing okay through all of this. We’ve had
enough silence. It’s time to do something.
