Education
It is very important to be able to amplify other voices with the platform of the Get Uncomfortable podcast. In this episode, I played devil’s advocate as my friend Rue shared his perspective, experiences, and opinions of the BLM movement. As a black man, coach, and role model to kids in his community, Rue offers great information to begin an uncomfortable but necessary conversation.Instagram: @jacklyn_q@RuenastyBeyond a conversation with others and educating ourselves I encourage you to take part in the Black Lives Matter movement in some way. Do whatever you feel aligned with in order to stand up in unity with the black community. Do not stand idle in history.Sign petitions!Donate to organizations taking action!Support black owned businesses!Documentaries:13thLA 92When They See UsI Am Not Your NegroWhere to Donate:Campaign Zero - https://www.joincampaignzero.org/#visionBlack Table Arts - http://www.blacktablearts.comEmbrace Race - https://www.embracerace.org/about/our-impactEducational Resources:Guide to Allyship - https://guidetoallyship.comSystemic Racism Explained - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHIQIO_bdQ&feature=youtu.beAnti Racist Children’s Books - https://www.theconsciouskid.org/antiracist-childrens-books
