Supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement should be everyone's top priority, in my opinion. However, not everyone can get out and protest.

I am going to list ways you can support the movement from the comfort of your home. I can not stress enough though that even after the protesting dies down, DO NOT stop educating yourself and supporting the movement!!

1. Watch movies and TV shows that educate you about racism

Here is a link to an article with some ideas of movies and shows to watch.

2. Read books that educate you about racism

Here are some options.

3. Make sure your state has a hate crime law!

Georgia does NOT have a hate crime law. You can text "hatefreega" to 52886 to sign a petition asking for one!

4. Sign petitions!!!!

5. Make donations!

6. Add diversity to your household!!

You can hang up diverse posters, watch diverse TV shows, read books with diverse charcters, buy your children diverse toys, and more!

7. Email, call, and communicate with your local goverment!

8. Do NOT be "colorblind"

9. Speak up about racism and educate your friends and family!

10. Have an open mind and allow yourself to continuously be educated on the matter.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit.

Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
