@VictoriaMCurrie For the longest time it was Howl’s Moving Castle but I saw Kiki’s Delivery Service for the first time a few weeks ago and IT HAS STOLEN MY HEART! 😭💚

Reminder to white people:

You will continue to mess up re racism. So continue to be teachable, open to correction from POC, and vigilantly monitor yourself for defensiveness and white fragility.

You never "arrive" as an ally, you must continually *practice* allyship.

@ELWaters I always struggle with getting any engagement on my Facebook page.

White people:
We gotta talk about burn out. You aren’t conditioned to be thinking about race this much because of your privilege. We need you to do all you’re doing today, tomorrow, and until the end of time.

Let’s talk about ways to focus on current & systemic change.

Do you want to support Black creatives but have no money? Request books by Black authors at your local public library! It's free, supports Black authors, and provides diverse stories for young readers. May I suggest starting with @rosiesrambles's A Song of Wraiths and Ruin?

An excellent dive into improving empathy through reading.
