📚️ We've got a question for you... ⁠
⁠
🤗 How are you celebrating Black History Month? ⁠
⁠
💯 Whether it's by supporting Black creatives, business owners or learning about history from a non-Eurocentric perspective--remember that the ability to lean into and learn about social issues that impact the community is equally important. ⁠
⁠
🫂 Nothing's wrong with appreciating culture or history but challenge yourself to go a step further to better understand the community as well! ⁠
⁠
🔗 If you'd like some resources to help with that, feel free to click the link in our bio to access our Racial Literacy Database that we regularly update with:⁠
⁠
🎈Statistical Data⁠
🎈Historical Information ⁠
🎈Creative Resources [supporting each community and their perspective] ⁠
⁠
👀 This database is inclusive and holds information about the Black, Latino, AAPI, Indigenous and Jewish Community. Check it out!⁠

🙃 Something we wish people understood.... ⁠
⁠
📖 Few people talk about the impact of environment as it relates to r@ce. ⁠
⁠
📖 The country you grew up in, the neighborhood and it's community, your social environment -- all of these impact your job opportunities, quality of food, education and emotional health! ⁠
⁠
During our upcoming FIERside Chat, we'll be asking questions that address: ⁠
⁠
🤯 Notable social/emotional differences that BIPOC communities experience when they leave America versus when they stay in it! ⁠
⁠
🤯 Common misconceptions that prevent people from traveling abroad ⁠
⁠
🤯 Nationality versus r@cial identity ⁠
⁠
Join our discussion this Sunday with and come ready with questions! ⁠

📣 Speak up! ⁠
⁠
☝🏼 Last year we hosted a FIERside Chat discussion with and delved into the subject of Performative Allyship and Allyship for the BIPOC community in general. ⁠
⁠
😊 Food for thought: As a member of the BIPOC community, consider the impact of what you say, when you say it and why you're going through the trouble. ⁠
⁠
💙 Likewise... protect your peace. ⁠

✨ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that"⁠
⁠
🎙️ MLK believed that in order to truly make a difference in our world, one had to be willing to open themselves to caring about the well-being of others. From the perspective of allyship--this means learning and UNLEARNING social and systemic practices. ⁠
⁠
⚠️ Dedicating yourself to learning a little bit about others' experience, history, culture etc. challenges you to respect and humanize them regardless of the differences between you. ⁠
⁠
💯 Get outside your comfort zone. Learn more. Do better and be better. We change the world by caring about one another. ⁠
