Activism Action: From one White Person to Another, Day 3
*disclosure: this is an excerpt from a journal I kept the second week of June 2020. It contains my thoughts and feelings as I worked hard to educate myself about racism in America and world wide.

Here She Comes
Fall. She's right around the corner. I woke up last Monday to a chill I almost didn't know. It's been too long. A crisp feeling. That day the wind blew steady and strong. I stayed outside.

But it really changed my outlook... my feed. Everything.) Day one: #AmplifyMelanatedVoices I’m muted. At least I am on Instagram, but see I process through writing and… Continue reading Activism Action: From one White Person to Another, Day 1
Thank you Rachel Ricketts
Let me start by saying that I have only recently discovered Rachel Ricketts and don’t know her personally. https://www.rachelricketts.com/ That said in the last two weeks I have spent an almost absurd amount of time on her website.
