As a woman of colour, mother of a young black daughter, and a visible minority small business owner, I can tell you we as a society have LOTS of work to do. One thing is clear, we are living in two pandemics - the only difference is the racism pandemic has been ongoing for 400 years.⠀

“The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And that’s the only way forward.” - Ijeoma Oluo⠀

It’s time to unlearn what society has normalized.⠀
