The last few days has weighed heavy on my heart witnessing the injustice black people continue to face around the world. Here are 4 ways you can step up and take action to support the black community TODAY
1/4 Donate and support the great work being done by organisations such as @yourrightscamp, @ColorOfChange, @reclaimtheblock and @BlackVisionsMN in the US. In the UK support the work being done by @JoinKwanda and @BYPNetworkApp
2/4 It’s not enough to not be racist, take time to listen and truly understand the experiences of black people. @MandelaSH shared her personal experience in 2016, and it remains as relevant today as ever https://medium.com/kapor-the-bridge/my-white-boss-talked-about-race-in-america-and-this-is-what-happened-fe10f1a00726#.k97fc492d">https://medium.com/kapor-the...
3/4 For VCs and organisations supporting entrepreneurs, recognise the bias black entrepreneurs face and take action to ensure diversity efforts go beyond gender. You can also support the programmes led by @foundervine, @thisisYSYS, @Colorintechorg and @cornerstone_LDN
4/4 Statements from major brands are great but real change will happen in board meetings, in offices and the wider workplace. It& #39;s time to take action towards ensuring the workplace is fully representative of society at all levels.
