#BlackLivesMatter

In times like this it is important to speak up. Also, as a white woman, this is not a time for me to speak. This is a time to amplify the voices of Black People, Indigenous People, and People of Colour. As we watch events unfold in the world, it is important to look within ourselves and within our families.

Here are some reading lists to help:
