Hi Guys,
After a busy day, sometimes I just want to sit in front of the TV and veg. Vanderpump Reunion Part 3 is looking pretty bomb right about now. But take a pause. Are you in the mood for something educational? Something we have a responsibility to learn? If you feel like it, take a moment to look over this list of videos, documentaries, TV series and films that cover race, racism, resistance and Black stories. Pause before you start that next binge of random TV and pick out one of the below. Hopefully these selections will inspire you to learn more, research and take action.
For more resources on #BlackLivesMatter search BLACK LIVES MATTER on my website and visit my #BLM highlight on Instagram. Don’t forget to share resources you like with your communities. It will take all of us to make this much needed social change, so talk to your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and anyone who will listen. Keep the conversation going.
xo,
Whit
