If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. - Desmond Tutu 🖤

This year has been extremely challenging. A lot of global issues have re-arisen. Global Warming, Plastic Pollution: Floods, droughts, bushfires, pandemics, systemic racism and inequality.

This week has been very eye opening for myself especially. As much as it’s about the system and can feel so much higher than our own power, we can do something and something is better than nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️. It’s important to be accountable for our own actions. So.. What have I done?

I’ve been using this platform to share pieces of information that resonate with me (saved to a highlight). Yesterday, protests were held across Australia, I decided not to attend for the health & safety of my baby. Instead I donated, signed petitions and watched documentaries. I’ve had conversations with others as well as with myself about my own prejudices. I have reflected on how I can teach my future children because racism starts in the home.

I have a lot of thoughts but I’m honestly struggling to put them into words (maybe it’s baby brain 🤣) so I’ve shared some other peoples thoughts that have resonated with me, as well as some Indigenous Australia artists that are AMAZING and I would like to support. Also listing a handful of resources below.

What can you do?
* Educate yourself (documentaries, movies, books, podcasts)
* Donate money to causes supporting POC - see highlight for posts with directions on where to donate both overseas and in Australia.
* Have conversations with family and friends.
* Teach your children.
* Purchase directly from BIPOC (art, fashion, books etc)
* Advocate for what you believe in, & if possible, attend protests.
