dear white friends.

I’ve put the sunflower on pause.

The posts I had lined up for this week all seem so vapid in contrast to recent events. I created this space to enhance my creativity and promote positivity but that can’t happen when there is still so much injustice going on in the world.

There will be a time when I will share them with you but not now. I love my friends and the other POC in my life too much.

For them, I cannot and will not stay silent any longer. This is a white people problem and I pledge to be a part of the solution. With that being said, this is where I’m starting:

HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST by Ibram X. Kendi

THIS BOOK IS ANTI-RACIST: 20 LESSONS ON HOW TO WAKE UP, TAKE ACTION, AND DO THE WORK by Tiffany Jewell

WHY I'M NO LONGER TALKING TO WHITE PEOPLE ABOUT RACE by Reni Eddo-Lodge

I hope you’ll join me. It’s not enough to not be racist. Now is the time to be actively ANTI-racist.
