Lamenting. Listening. Learning.

If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen this already but I wanted to share it again here for you along with some resources from people and organizations that I trust. I will continue to add more to this post as I discover them or they are shared with me.

Here’s what I wrote earlier this week:

I’m sorry.⁣
I’m listening. ⁣
I’m learning. ⁣
⁣
⁣There are generations worth of lamenting AND listening AND learning that I need to continue to teach myself, and my children that Black Lives Matter. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been told that I am kind. But if my white skin kindness doesn’t shout for justice when Black lives are oppressed, then what good is my kindness? ⁣
⁣
I’m sorry. ⁣
I’m listening. ⁣
I’m learning. ⁣
⁣
Thank you @oshetamoore for your wisdom and guidance in your IGTV message yesterday. (Go watch it!)⁣
⁣
I’ll be reading books, watching films and documentaries. I’m also listening and learning from:⁣

Kindness matters. But kindness is not justice.

Dear white people, For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer. Let your guard down and listen.
