WIBU: Black Voices Matter - a podcast by Bea

I suppose this is the first installation of Why Is B Upset (WIBU). The rant that floated into my mind relates to Black Lives Matter. In a general sense, the steam, hype, trend of BLM has fizzled down a bit. It is still very active, and even if it wasn't, that does not mean we should stop our growth, nor should we slow our pursuit of justice. Stay mindful of the small habits and behaviors that you make adjustments to in your day to day life. Unlearn a common generalization, saying, assumption, stereotype. Learn the history, background, and hidden realities that SHOULD be more known. Listen to Black voices and help them be heard. 

In relation to this, make sure you realize the overlap and connection BLM has with other issues. People of color are more impacted by climate change and pollution. Racism has no place in the LGBTQ+ community. Misconceptions and biases impact the quality of health care people of color receive. Generalizations and stereotypes impact school environments, if and when accessible.

If anything I say or do oversteps the boundaries of what I should, please let me know and correct me. If anyone wishes to contact us, provide feedback, and inform us of anything that we should look back over or approach differently, by all means, message us through our Instagram (@g00npod).
