#AmplifyMelanatedVoices

Hello darling friends. It’s Tasty Tuesday but today I will not be posting a recipe. Today I am actively educating myself on the injustice that our black family and friends encounter everyday.

Yesterday I started with The Devastation of Black Wall Street. Something I never knew about. Something that was not taught in my middle class privileged suburban school district. Needless to say, there is a lot to learn.

If you are interested in #AmplifyMelanatedVoices or #IAMMUTED I encourage you to check out @jessicawilson.msrd and @blackandembodied. These two women have a wealth on knowledge and resources on their accounts. They also have a reflection post that has already opened my eyes to what I am not seeing every single day.

To be honest, friends, the learning has just begun. I do not have nearly as much knowledge to talk about anything yet, but when I do, I will. I hope you share with me as I share with you. We have a lot of catching up to do.

Hoping you are all staying happy, healthy and safe. 💗

Alli
