June 24, 2020

Many of our eyes have been opened in the last few weeks to a topic that may seem scary to talk about – racism. It is sad to know that in 2020 the Black community is still facing so much injustice. Though I am not a member of the Black community, I recognize the privilege that comes with my skin, I stand with them as an ally. I’ve been listening, learning and speaking out…something I will continue to do.

With this commitment to listen, learn and speak out I wanted to highlight some black owned businesses here in Pasadena. Some of these I have visited, but some I have not and I can’t wait to try it. Check them out and let’s support them with our business and by spreading the word!

Being the media mogul that I am I had share some black content creators to follow. I’m loving my feed since incorporating these new faces into it! I also added an Instagram Highlight to my page so you can utilize all of my BLM resources, check it out here. I encourage you to do the same so your resources, posts, reposts, donation links and stories don’t disappear.

And of course, I had to share some resources to introduce with your kids. Being a mom myself I realize it is my job to teach my son about these topics.
