How to actively make changes right now: take a step back, research, listen, assess, implement and share important voices and resources for the Black Lives Matter movement.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧠I am listening, watching and learning a lot right now, I acknowledge that I have a lot of work to do personally and as a small business owner/nutrition coach to be actively anti-racist (rather than simply “not racist”) & want to share so that others can also find important resources.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is what I have been able to do so far & encourage you to find your own ways of participating & make a stand for positive change in history.
