This video has been created for an adult audience and is not intended for viewers under 13 years of age.

This video has been a long time coming and filming the real talk was difficult. You'll notice that the first few minutes have been edited quite a bit. When I made the final cut, I decided that it was best to keep it simple and to the point. My voice is not the voice that needs to be heard right now. I think it's more important to amplify the voices of BIPOC than to spend a lot of time talking about how the last few weeks has made me feel.

On that note, if you are white, I urge you to take some time and educate yourself (if you haven't already) on racism and how you can be an active participant in dismantling it in your community and in the world at large. Learn how you can be an anti-racist and learn what steps your community, town, or city needs to take to end police brutality. It is no longer enough to just not be racist. It is no longer okay to stand by in silence. 

Here are some resources to help you better understand the Black Lives Matter movement as well as how you can help BIPOC and the LGBTQIA+ community.
