To white people who haven& #39;t reached out to your Black friends, your silence hurts. Your silence isn& #39;t helping.
You don& #39;t want to do the wrong thing, but that silence is the wrong thing.
If you don& #39;t know what to say, find someone who does and share that.

I mean...okay. You can still check in on a friend.
It may seem like just a sad news headline to you, but this is trauma for the Black community. There& #39;a heavy emotional weight to seeing people like you being murdered for existing. Recognise that.

If you think the Windrush scandal is over or these things don& #39;t happen every damn day you need to diversify your social media feed.

& #39;White privilege has left the chat& #39;
Don& #39;t do this. Don& #39;t stand by when you see racism. Definitely don& #39;t then tell ppl how disgusted you were to pat your wokeness on the back if you didn& #39;t raise your voice. Call out racism to the racists not to the victims of racism. We know.

My new favourite podcast is for Black women and focuses on decolonising your religious & spiritual practices by reclaiming your indigenous practices. Uplifting and empowering conversations, even if you& #39;re not religious or spiritual. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xVdC0jBUqpzTTTU4FU7ly?si=TTsUJ1jrRtq_TJpPRtwqXA">https://open.spotify.com/episode/5...

For pure indulgence head to @ThirstAidKit podcast. Two Black women discuss their thirst for male film stars. They unpack the allure of Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy etc with humour & a handy filmography for the thirst opportunities you may have missed https://youtu.be/Pr6gRxp-Y0s ">https://youtu.be/Pr6gRxp-Y...
And here& #39;s my Sunday Chill playlist which has become my every day chill. A soundtrack of mostly Black artists who uplift me https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Lsn7TJcJLw3QKlrWKEVOY?si=1YZtxpU_R1-pMmYuKFK9Gg">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/...
