If you’re a white person reading my words, it’s high time to start giving yourself a real education.
It’s time to take all of those uncomfortable feelings you’re processing and put them to radical work. And no, I don’t mean that this is your golden opportunity to harass Black influencers, educators, and organizations on how you can “do better.” You need to start using your own fucking skillset and influence to enlighten yourself, listen to Black voices, amplify their struggles, and become an active part in dismantling white supremacy.

And remember to respect those around you by wearing a face mask. These protests are not about you, so follow the lead of black organizers.
