Like I said in my video, if you can’t or are uncomfortable with participating in a protest, there are still other ways that you can help bring change. Research. Read. Talk. Listen. Petition. Donate. Social media is at our disposal. Just please, don’t sit back and do nothing.

#BlackLivesMatter
It’s time for change.
