I’d like to announce that I’m starting a $13 fund for straight white men. I will be giving 26 straight white men 50cents, along with exposure, experience, and mentorship of my choosing. Because of this, I am being awarded $1billion worth of free marketing & leads. You’re welcome.

My sister put together a list of a few black businesses that we can replace some of our everyday brands with. This is essential if we want change. Let’s not talk about it anymore let’s be about it! A THREAD:

*Activists and Legislators:* Here’s a thread of MEANINGFUL legislation that has been proposed and, in some cases, passed in cities and states to address police violence. Consider passing legislation like this in your community, too. (1/x)
