Today is Shine a Light on Slavery Day ❌ An estim Today is Shine a Light on Slavery Day ❌ An estimated 40.3 million people are currently trapped in slavery around the world. According to @ecpatusa, “populations who are more vulnerable to traffickers include those who are victims of generational trauma and systemic inequalities, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community and communities of color.” Although the stats are quite grim, we’re not without hope in this fight against modern-day slavery!! Here are a few tips that I gathered from the @enditmovement, a cause supporting a coalition of organizations working to fight human trafficking (like @a21 & @ijm)! 🔦 Travel (safely, of course!) with responsible hotel companies trained to identify and report trafficking 🔦 Be aware of the signs of potential victims of trafficking, but avoid racial profiling or stereotyping communities of people 🔦 Get educated on the prevalence of human trafficking and which communities are most at risk! You can find documentaries, Digital downloads, hotlines, and other resources at enditmovement.com/take-action/ 🔦 Support organizations who are on the ground and doing the work Awareness is helpful, but action is transformational. The fight for freedom continues ❤️ #enditmovement #shinealightonslavery
While reflecting on the 1 year anniversary of Ahma While reflecting on the 1 year anniversary of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, I was reminded of the conversations I’d overhear my mother having with my brother before he’d leave the house. A conversation that most parents of Black children are all too familiar with: “Wear bright colors.” “Go a familiar way.” “Take off your hoodie.” “Play during the day.” In a recent article by Curtis Bunn, “'Everyone should be safe when they run': The lasting trauma of Ahmaud Arbery's shooting,” Black runners recount similar memories from their childhood, as well as running practices they still abide by today: "I have changed everything. I've seen people in their car slow down as I run and look at me in their rearview mirror to make sure I was not robbing their house. I have come up on white ladies who scream just because they see me run by them... I don't jog as much when it's dark, and when I do I make sure I'm wearing reflectors. I'm nervous about running in black jogging clothes... It's all different. We have to be self-aware." - Kevin O. Davis, a Black runner from Texas. 🏃🏾 As Black people continue to live by unwritten rules meant to keep us safe, I still hope for the day where we won’t have to fear being attacked for existing. It’s up to society as a whole to continue the work of eliminating internalized racism & bias... not seeing each other as threats, but as humans - worthy & loved 💛 #AhmaudArbery
Hello, I just wanted to say that y’all are serio Hello, I just wanted to say that y’all are seriously the coolest 🤩 thank you SO much for your incredible support for the merch since we launched it a couple months ago!!

Here’s the thing about being actively anti-racis Here’s the thing about being actively anti-racist... Regardless of which community is experiencing oppression, what month of the year we’re in, or what the nuances are concerning specific details and facts, one thing remains true: we condemn hate. We reject racism, violence, and xenophobia. And we do so by listening to the affected communities, amplifying their voices, and speaking out in solidarity. And, when we do sit and have conversations regarding the work we ALL still need to do, we do so while ALWAYS centering the needs of the community at hand. This is the work of the beloved community. This is how we foster collective liberation. To my Asian followers and friends, I wholeheartedly condemn the Anti-Asian violence & hate taking place against your community. I stand with you - (YES, even during Black History Month… which should NEVER be a deterrent to speaking out, by the way), because this is what it’s all about. Equity, justice, reconciliation, intersectionality. We’ll refuse to let white supremacy pit us against each other or let “oppression olympics” distract from the situation at hand. And we’ll continue to do this for each other, all year long, as often as necessary. Friends, please look into the recent uptick in Anti-Asian violence taking place in America. I’ve been sharing resources in my stories and have personally been learning from @michellekimkim, @jocekittyllama, @christineyisuh, and @teachandtransform. Amplifying them here so you can read their stories. This is love. The kind of love that drives out hate. 💙 #StopAAPIHate
TODAY’S THE DAY! 🎈 My class with @skillshare TODAY’S THE DAY! 🎈 My class with @skillshare - “Instagram Illustration: Make Shareable Art for Social Change” is finally LIVE, and you can watch it with a free trial at the link in my bio! 🎉🎉🎉 It’s the biggest honor to be a featured class during Black History Month, and I took the opportunity to continue celebrating Black liberation by dedicating my art piece in the class to the Freedom Riders of the 1960s and the road to integrating interstate travel. 🚎 With the goal to end segregation in interstate transportation facilities, groups of both Black and white riders traveled through the south on buses and tried to use “whites-only” restrooms, waiting rooms, and lunch counters. While on their journeys, these activists were met with violence, angry mobs, and jail time, but continued action until new laws were finally created and enforced. 👊🏾 What inspires me the most about this moment in history is how big of a role college students & young adults played in the movement. This goes to show you that you’re never too young to cause some good trouble (word to John Lewis, one of the first Freedom Riders!) ✨ You can watch how I create this piece from start to finish, as well as how I approach this entire process, when you check out my brand new Skillshare course all about art, illustrated infographics, and how to create for change using the power of social media! Link in bio!!! 😭 PINCH ME!
