10 λογαριασμοί μαύρων ανθρώπων που αξίζουν ν’ ακολουθήσεις στο Instagram

Με όλο τον θάνατο και τον ρατσισμό της περασμένης εβδομάδας, η εύρεση των λέξεων για πληκτρολόγηση είναι πολύ περίπλοκη. Η ανάγκη ότι πρέπει να θρηνήσουμε, να εκπαιδεύσουμε και να διασφαλίσουμε ότι τα ονόματα των Atatiana Jefferson, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Εric Garner, George Floyd και αμέτρητων άλλων δεν θα ξεχαστούν είναι σημαντικό – αλλά βαρύ.

Έτσι, προτού μοιραστώ τους λογαριασμούς των ανθρώπων που μάς εμπνέουν λόγω της αφοσίωσής τους στο να μιλούν και να εκπαιδεύουν τον κόσμο, σε συμβουλεύω να κάνεις μερικά πράγματα πριν πατήσεις το follow σε αυτές τις “κοινότητες”. Πρώτον, πρέπει να καταλάβεις ότι ενώ αυτά τα άτομα είναι δημόσια πρόσωπα και ακτιβιστές, είναι ανθρώπινα όλα όσα λένε. Διδάσκουν ενεργά, υποστηρίζουν τα λεγόμενά τους, αλλά θρηνούν επίσης. Δεύτερον, άφησε τις απόψεις σου στην εικονική πόρτα. Είναι ένα πολύ ευαίσθητο θέμα που αντικειμενικά μόνο οι άνθρωποι που βιώνουν ρατσισμό, μπορούν να καταλάβουν.

Διάβασε τα έργα των James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Roxane Gay, Maya Angelou, Zeba Blay και Antonia Opiah,κτλ. γιατί η λογοτεχνία είναι πάντα ένας από τους καλύτερους τρόπους για να εκπαιδεύσεις τον εαυτό σου. Επιπλέον, ακολουθούν 10 λογαριασμοί που πρέπει να ακολουθήσεις αν είσαι έτοιμη να γίνεις πραγματικός σύμμαχος του.

Κατά τη γνώμη μου, η σκηνοθέτις Ava DuVernay, χρειάζεται λίγη προσοχή. Το βραβευμένο ντοκιμαντέρ στο Netflix DuVernay 13ο και η μίνι σειρά When They See Us είναι μια μικρή δόση για όποιον άνθρωπο θέλει να κατανοήσει τον συστηματικό ρατσισμό.

Good morning ? I woke up this morning thinking of revolution. Head to the link in my bio to RSVP. • Thinking about what our ancestors and past leaders left for us. What tools and direction and foresight they offered. • When James Baldwin reminded us: “It is a very peculiar revolution because, in order to succeed at all, it has to have as its aim the reestablishment of the Union. And a great, radical shift in American mores, in the American way of life. Not only does it apply to the Negro, obviously, but it applies to every citizen in the country. This is a very tall order and desperately dangerous, but inevitable in my view because of the nature of the American Negro’s relationship to the rest of the country, of all these generations, and the attitudes the country’s had toward him, which always was, but now has become overtly and concretely, intolerable. • When Malcolm X made clear: “Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.” • When Fannie Lou Hammer started: “There is one thing you have got to learn about our movement — three people is better than no people” • When Nikki Giovanni explained: “We put our lives on the line because we understand that our lives were always on the line.” • When Angela Davis said, ““I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.” • I’ll be giving a Public Address on Revolution this upcoming Saturday evening. If you’d be interested in hearing my words and my teachings please use the link in my bio to RSVP and you’ll receive the viewing details Saturday afternoon. • This live address will include my official response to the brutality happening to black bodies in the US. I will be pulling from the words of revolutionaries before us. I will be offering resources for action and highlighting the movement on the ground so that we all can show up in revolutionary ways. • I’m looking forward to being in conversation and community with you all. • TL:DR – the revolution is coming, RSVP link in bio. • Will I see you there? • #revolutionnow

The national movement to desegregate the conversation about race that @thewildsister and I started over two years ago is still perfectly and unfortunately relevant today. Amy Cooper was a liberal- doesn’t matter. The Starbucks barista worked in one of the blackest cities in America- still doesn’t matter. Racism isn’t the shark, it’s the water. Until more people start doing the work to educate themselves and unlearn their racial biases, the #karens will continue to yield their privilege as a weapon. Once you start to educate yourself, get your friends and family to join you on an anti-racist path ?? Full episode linked in my profile ??

Η Michelle ήταν μάρτυρας στη σύλληψη των Donte Robinson και Rashon Nelson, δύο μαύρων που συνελήφθησαν σε ένα Starbucks στη Φιλαδέλφεια το 2018, ενώ περίμεναν έναν φίλο, επειδή δεν είχαν παραγγείλει. Το From Privilege to Progress είναι ένα διαδικτυακό κίνημα, του οποίου η αποστολή είναι να «κατακεραυνώσει το φυλετικό ρατσισμό» και εκείνη είναι η συν-ιδρύτρια.

I made this print when I found out I was pregnant because I wanted my daughter to grow up with these words in her room. ⠀ Today, I am selling it online for the first time ever with 100% of the proceeds going to The Antiracist Research & Policy Center. ⠀ Their mission is to convene and team up varied specialists to figure out novel and practical ways to understand, explain, and solve seemingly intractable problems of racial inequity and injustice. ⠀ Their research and policy work is deliberately antiracist. They consider racist policies and ideas, and not certain racial groups, to be the racial problem. ⠀ They strive to build an antiracist society of racial equity and justice. ⠀ Please join me in supporting their critical work. ⠀ Prints is 11×14 and available now on www.withlovecleo.com or link in bio ⠀ I love you.

Η δουλειά της βασίζεται στη δημιουργία μιας κοινότητας που προασπίζεται τα δικαιώματα των ανθρώπων και το βιβλίο της, Heart Talk: Poetic Wisdom for a Better Life είναι μια από τις καλύτερες επενδύσεις που μπορείς να κάνεις στον εαυτό σου.

?Any analysis of protest that does not include the police and government’s response is wrong. Period. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ?We’ve seen wall to wall coverage of alleged protestor action, but little has been made in mainstream spaces of the unprovoked violence, undercover tactics, and deeply harmful strategies of the police and the governments who fund them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ?In LA, the government is funding an LAPD who we have *watched* attack protestors unprovoked *live on TV* *just this week* to the tune of an EXTRA ~$200M dollars, even while it already had over 50% of a strapped budget. That’s a 7% INCREASE in the @LAPDhq’s budget, all while Los Angeles cut housing spending by 9% and jobs spending by the same. #PeoplesBudgetLA ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ?SUFFICE IT TO SAY: As we strengthen our language (rebellion, not riot) and our understanding (white supremacy is violent every day), so too must we deepen our analysis of the police & government response- specifically to the livelihood of Black people. The investment has never and will never be the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #LinkInBio to the original thread, so you can read the embedded articles, learn more, and share them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The struggle continues. Let’s get free. ❤️✊?

Thank you so much for challenging my creativity during quarantine and choosing me for your summer 2020 issue cover @wonderland! Because I am in quarantine I had no choice but to be my own creative director. This was as challenging as it was vulnerable. For this Wonderland cover issue I chose to tell an authentic story of my average day in quarantine through images of me engaging in intimate every day scenarios at home with an unconventionally fashionable edge. Let's call it, realness with a twist 😉 Pre Order Link In Bio! Thank you @baileysltr for such an awesome interview love!! It was so fun and you're so sweet and so cool your questions were awesome! Thank you Lisa, Josh and especially my partner for being so supportive and helpful during this creative process. Thank you Toni for being such a genius creative, and choosing me for this! I hope so much to meet you in person and hopefully even work together again!

Πολλοί άνθρωποι γνωρίζουν τη Lindsay από την σεζόν 21 του The Bachelor. Η πρώτη φορά που ακούστηκε “η φωνή της” ήταν στα κοινωνικά μέσα όταν ανέβασε ένα βίντεο σχετικά με το γιατί οι μη μαύροι άνθρωποι δεν πρέπει ποτέ να χρησιμοποιούν την “n-word”. Για όσους δεν γνωρίζουν η “n-word”ανήκει στην αργκώ γλώσσα, που βγαίνει από τη λέξη “nigger”, μια εθνοτική δυσφήμηση που συνήθως απευθύνεται προς μαύρους ανθρώπους.
