Black Lives Matter
This is not just some trend, this is a movement. This is not the time to be silent, this is the time to speak up and use your platform to help bring justice. I have this small space on the internet and I refuse to keep quiet about this.
No Justice, No Peace.
And being silent about this is not helping.
I am not black, I am Asian, but I will stand by and always help out my fellow black people.
If you listened to my podcast episode first, I will be putting some links on ways to help during this movement. If you want to listen to my scattered thoughts you can listen to my podcast episode below. I usually post Tuesdays, but I have posted a day earlier because I couldn’t keep quiet on my podcast any longer.
As much as I have a voice and am doing my best to raise awareness, please listen to black people and what they have to say on this matter more than myself. I can only raise as much awareness as possible, but I will never be in the same shoes as black people and what they feel.
But for now, I have voiced my stance on this movement and I am here. I am an ally. I will stand by you all until justice is served, police brutality is taken seriously, and black people are treated equally. Because Black Lives Matter.
Below are the best resources I’ve used and can find to help in this Black Lives Matter Movement. I will update as best as I can or you can follow my twitter @lostwithyvonne or @writewithyvonne for more up to date stuff.

Please also, if you can donate to the following infographic
This is all I have for now. I hope this small bit helps in any way possible. And please keep EDUCATING yourself. I am on daily because I have privilege. As much as I am a person of color, I won’t understand what it means to be a black person during this time. So the best way is to educate yourself and LISTEN to your fellow black friends, leaders, people.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Cheers
