RESOURCE GUIDE TO LEARN ABOUT SYSTEMIC RACISM
This weeks blog post, I am here to let you know that myself and my brand stands with you. We’ve all had quite a year in 2020 and now it’s time we come together to heal and make change. I’ve been taking this time to better educate myself, get on calls, watch everything, read everything and learning what I can do to make a change. I firmly believe that it is our fault that we are dealing with this today. It is our fault that we allowed hate and racism to go on this long and it is now our responsibility to clean up our mess and make change to better our country and our world.
I also wanted to let you know, that I have been looking for and researching organizations I can build a relationship with and work with to help African American/ minority female entrepreneurs. Not just now, but from here on out so if you know of any, please leave them in the comment below so I can check them out!
Below are some links, books and shows we can all learn from & to take a step in the right direction. If you have any recommendations or suggestions I may have missed, please leave that in the comments below as well. Thank you everyone who’s been understanding and please, remember to do your part and let’s make 2020 the year of healing and change.
