Three Things

May 2020 — Issue No. 77

Hey <<First Name>>,

While these newsletters take me some time to write, I’m usually quick to pen a fantastic world of things I’ve eaten, things I’ve seen, and places I’ve been. This month the words have come slowly, and eventually stopped. The entire world is crying out because another black life has been taken at the hands of police brutality caused by systemic racism. This is something we need to address— especially us—the non-black readers of this newsletter. We have all benefitted from this system, and I understand that my privilege means I won’t be targeted by police or chased by racists when I go for a jog. I‘m no activist, and I don’t think you need to be one to stand for something you believe in. I want to learn and listen and use my privilege to share awareness and drive change.

This Three Things newsletter asks you to do three things:

1. Donate. I’ll be matching donations up to $500, just email or text me your receipts. Here are some places you can donate:

2. Read. I’ll be educating myself by reading more literature on the subject of race, here are some places I’m going to start, maybe you'll join along too:
  1. So You Want o Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oulo (purchasing this one next)
  2. White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo
  3. Me and White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad
  4. The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander

3. Talk. If you have friends or family members who have different opinions than you on this topic, I challenge you to talk to them and have a constructive conversation about what’s going on. If you have a different view than me on this topic I’d love to chat, you know where to find me.

Thank you all for always taking the time to read these emails and I hope through education and action we will create the world we want to live in.
