A letter to my fellow white people.
Posting and bringing awareness in situations of racial injustice have been a long-time priority for me. However, things just felt different this time and it took a minute to figure out how to change the approach. I couldn’t just throw up a post of George Floyd and make a call and sign a petition and then 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼? While those things are helpful and it IS important to do that, it’s not enough from us anymore. Those actions MUST become the norm, but today I want to to tell you how I’m am personally taking the next steps and urging you join me.
•NOT ASKING MY BLACK FRIENDS TO EDUCATE ME OR TO SUPPORT ME IN BEING AN ANTI-RACIST. I used to do that. I used to call my friends frantically when something happened and ask what I can do to help. But after much education and through my own research, I realized I’m only adding work to their plate which is already too full just by living in their own skin. I realized I have an entire internet at MY fingertips and need to put the effort in ALL BY MYSELF.
•ACTION. I’ve made my calls and signed multiple petitions, obviously. But again, that’s not enough.
•ORGANIZING. I’m compiling a list of black owned beauty businesses that I want to raise up and share on my platform. Not because anyone needs me to, but because I genuinely want to see more black women entrepreneurs being lifted up in the beauty space and more black women rising to the executive ranks and being compensated accordingly.
•DONATING. Here are places I will be donating to today:
-BLACK GIRLS CODE, which teaches African American girls how to code 💕👩🏾💻
-SPELMAN COLLEGE, w historically black college for women 👩🏿🎓
-THE INNOCENCE PROJECT, which exonerates people who were wrongly convicted.
Join me. If you have questions, reach out and ask me. If you need resources on anti-racism education, ask me. We made this system and we are the ones who have to fix this system. 🤍📸: the one + only @sarashakeel
