Over the past few days, we've all seen a multitude of people doing the same things; protesting, donating, signing petitions. All are very important in ending racial injustice, but I believe that the most important thing when the storm calms is continue to learn and un-learn as much as you can - esp about races other than yours.
Right now, the most accessible resource we have is social media and if there's anything we've realised over the past few days, it is the power it can carry. Diversifying your feed towards learning more about social injustice is a major step in educating yourself, and is particularly crucial in supporting the BLM movement.
So here are some bad-ass accounts that consistently create dope anti-racist contents.
