I truly appreciate all of the solidarity and support my people have been receiving this week in the wake of the senseless killing of George Floyd. But I’m going to keep it real with my people, cause I love ya’ll. Donations to the NAACP & Black Lives Matter alone are NOT going to help us right now. Most of this money won’t ever even see a black pocket or a black-owned business.
Â
If you want to truly support black people during these times, support us by: buying from black-owned businesses, educating yourself on black issues and black culture, and speaking out against any racial injustices that you see. Since we’re based in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina, we’ve compiled a list of black-owned businesses you can shop with and support in NC. Share this with anyone interested in supporting the movement, and feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggested additions! #BuyBlack #SupportBlackBusiness
