My friend brought me back this week’s issue of Grazia from her trip to the UK.
It doesn’t take much to make me homesick for England.

From June 1-7 (and long after that) on social media I will be listening to and learning from my brown and black brothers and sisters. I won’t be sharing my own content but I will be sharing in my IG stories the words and work of black and brown activists, artists, teachers and leaders. I will stand in solidarity with #amplifymelanatedvoices organized by @jessicawilson.msrd . Jessica said,” Social justice conversations consistently center white people's narratives and make them feel like the "good white person" or the "woke white person." A lot of the content is copied and reposted from Black and Brown creators. The language and offerings are often appropriated from the lived experience of Black and Brown folks, and is then used to make a profit and increase their social capital. The black and brown creators go without credit and payment and are pushed further into the margins of social justice work as white audiences continue to center themselves." . @jessicawilson.msrd and @blackandembodied created the #amplifymelantedvoices challenge as a way to educate, act, center the black and brown lived experience and narrative. I know that I can never fully understand but I can listen and I can educate myself. You can visit their profiles to learn, listen, participate and donate . If you would like to donate you can start here. @theconsciouskid @blklivesmatter @blackvisionscollective @blackmamasmatter @thelovelandfoundation
