1. Acknowledge all of Black history not simply the digestible bits from the usual suspects The messaging should venture beyond diaspora oriented tentpoles we learned in primary school. Don’t be afraid of the so-called controversial figures and events. If non-BIPOC Americans can celebrate slave owners and traders as national icons…

2. Stop the performative social media engagement stuff. The narrative around BIPOC martyrs is nice but tired. There’s more to beneath the surface. And please find BIPOC people to lead the efforts and support them just don’t put them on an island and say build your own life boat.

I wish they would educate themselves reading a black author they had not previously read. I would not want them to think retweeting a couple of quotes is enough.

Everytime I think about work and how I can't even make a strong case for myself for a promotion I get upset. I'm literally pissed that I'm past a year mark and have yet to learn anything new since month 2. I've researched and taught myself as much as I could but many things are "learn on the job" type skills and so nothing. And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.
