Thanks for reading Sarah, I’m glad you found it helpful!
This is truly awesome! Thank you so much for shedding light on such an important issue in our country right now. One day, one step, and one ally at a time I truly feel the change will come. Xo
I feel the same way Jamaria. As much as we still see so much negativity right now I think the world is changing. I think society has finally woken up to the issue of racism (and it’s horrible it took so long – i personally don’t even understand how I didn’t truly SEE it, didn’t GET it until recently) and i really think lasting change is coming.
