The murder of George Floyd has shaken the nations. For some of us, last week was one of the hardest and emotional weeks of our lives. We’re tired of being victims of police brutality and seeing our community repeatedly in danger because of police officers blinded by racism. For others of us, this week has brought about difficult moments of introspection, realising that our silence has contributed to this racist society that we’re living in.
Racism is wrong and we all need to speak up to condemn it. Actively bettering ourselves, becoming better informed and advocates of our global community. This post is dedicated to resources for you all.
