It’s time to have these uncomfortable conversations with these companies that are using this as an opportunity to hop on the bandwagon for a social 'trend'.
To black people already in the industry........
Don’t be a bully because you feel threatened by another black persons strive to succeed in the same industry.
To companies turning their screens black today.
DON’T TURN your screen black if I’m the only black person in your offices.
DON’T TURN your screen black if your company is swindling young black artists/ athlete's out of money.
please everyone participating in the #showmustbepaused blackout - remember beyond the black screen post, the aim is to “disconnect from work and reconnect with community”. that means - continue donating, sharing vital information, protesting (if you can). do the work.
For those of us in corporate spaces. If you haven’t already PLEASE let’s try to start having these uncomfortable conversations.
I know it’s not easy but let’s try at the very least.
A THREAD OF UK BLACK BUSINESSES
