Black Lives Matter
8After a long period of consideration, I decided not to make a recorded video on this matter, as there is nothing new I can say that hasn't already been said, but I still wanted to give my voice as one of support. Despite being a POC, I've been lucky enough to be able to move through life without experiencing any racial harassment or abuse, but the people of the black community have, and so their voices are the ones you should take the time to listen to and support.
