We know your "who gives a f*ck meter" is almost full. But our people didn't stand in lines and get their asses ripped up by dogs and water hoses so you can shit it away just a few generations later. If not for you, then for them.

We need to #checkyourself. We say all the time that Black people are not monolithic but we have one bad experience at a Black owned business and suddenly it's,"that why I don't Eff with Black Businesses." Time to wake up people.

The point of bringing in diverse people is to enrich the culture, thinking, and output. Not for them to assimilate into your culture and only seen, not heard. This applies to historical institutions as well as tech startups.

#Didyouknow States require more hours of training to be a licensed beauty professional than to earn a badge? Yes, that's facts! So every time there's a #policeshooting taking another #blacklife, remember #thisisamerica where barbers have more regulations than police officers #wtf
