"As we head into Black History Month, I think it’s important for all of us to examine our own prejudices, to examine our own relationships, to ask ourselves, Are we allies to ensuring that others are full participants in everything in society?""

"I love blackness, it is stunning, majestic, inspiring but it is also not here to serve non-black people when it suits them via sports, music, hairstyles, entertainment etc. It should be respected in the workplace and shouldn’t be ignored when it’s crying out in fear of being killed. You really want that utopian ideal of what our world could be? You want to be proudly and ACTIVELY anti-racist, more than fearing being called a racist? I want that for you too. If so, then do the work, educate yourself and others, stand by us loudly, consistently, FOREVER."
