My moms journey in justice actually started as her training to become an RCMP officer. She said she had to deal with some hard cases and realized she wants to help our people, outside of enforcing a oppressive law.

We shouldn't ask ourselves "y do black movements get more attention than Indigenous movements?" We should ask ourselves "how can we do better and learn from the strength of the black community"

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

It bothers me so much when our own people don't take the time to learn how to be an ally.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

As much as I love to give to others. I need to remember to give to myself too.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

Fuck the system.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

Fuck the police.

Now is the time to reflect. Now is the time to check your privilege. No one is exempt from perpetuating anti-black racism. Take time to learn about black history and how society got here. Learn past what you already know. Now is the time. Change your views.

@kiara_lawson Yes! Thank you!! 🙌🏽

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

Everyone just wanna comment on my posts today lol. As Indigenous people it's so important to hold eachother accountable. Sometimes it's not about us and that's ok. We need to know how to be the allies that we want when we are fighting for the lives of our people.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

I'm riled up.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

@serenahavana I wish I knew earlier!! I totally would've went with you!!! Haida's definitely should represent!! I didn't know about to protest until I seen it on the news 😩

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

Social movements are a trendy until you have to address your own white privilege.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

We have to believe change is coming.. if we stop believing, the oppression continues. Never allow them to take away our hope.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

@smdsmdsmdd YESSSS 👏🏽👏🏽

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

Sometimes you need to hold yourself accountable. That's growth.

[Vanessa Parnell @0ddAsACod_]

As my father explained during his lifetime, a riot is the language of the unheard.
