Worked on some lettering pieces at the end of last week. Thanks so much for everyone who suggested quotes to me— @shelleyelena mentioned this one which I thought was really concise and impactful. Y’all feel free to share these, but please credit me so it’s not stolen. Thanks 🧡 . Black lives shouldn’t just matter. They should be celebrated, honored, admired, cherished, respected and loved. Can we not do the minimum? Can we not treat Black lives with the same care? We should be grateful that after generations and generations of abuse, all they want is equality... and how disgusting are we as a society, to not be able to give that to them? Because make no mistake— this is a problem we white people established and perpetuated and continue to benefit from, so it is ours to figure out and fix. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #blacklivesmatter #matteristheminimum #justiceforgeorgefloyd #georgefloyd #ahmaudarbery #racism #abolishpolice #policebrutality #capitalism #latestagecapitalism #nojusticenopeace #minneapolis #istandwithyou #rightsideofhistory #institutionalizedracism #socialactivism #whitepeople #2020 #antiracism #antiracist #policethepolice #humanlife #blacklivesmatter✊🏾 #blacklivesmatter✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 #protests #protesting #thisisamerica #pearlclutch #womenwhodraw #speakup (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBd-OQGli61/?igshid=1wuj5j9gsr2zj

Black lives are beautiful. Black lives are necessary. Black lives are brilliant. Black lives are creative. Black lives are special. Black lives are strong. Black lives are meaningful. Black lives are caring. Black lives are multi-dimensional. Black lives are a part of you and your history. Black lives are irreplaceable. Black lives are important. Black lives are sweet. Black lives are interesting. Black lives are kind. Black lives are thoughtful. Black lives are global. Frankly, there isn’t a corner on this beautiful earth where you could go and not find something derived from a black life. Being black has taught me a whole lot about what it means to be human. Being black has helped me have compassion. It has given me countless moments where I desperately needed it. It taught me early on what compassion looked like. It, therefore, made it both necessary and easy to extend it to others. It’s easy to give what you see and need. It’s hard to give what you don’t see or know. Being black has taught me how to read a room and a person like a NY Times bestseller: quick and deep. Being black has taught me not to take you too personally and get my feelings hurt by your intent or lack of. I had to learn early on that it wasn’t me, it was you. Otherwise, I’d be walking around perpetually maimed and broken. Being black has taught me to see me in everyone. I had to. Otherwise I would never have seen me anywhere: the images and stories told to me never had people who looked like me. So if I were to see myself, I had to learn to see me, in you. Like every Father’s Day card I bought for my father (up until I was about 11), only had white fathers and daughters. Imagine little brown Cha buying a card with a white skinned blue eyed father with his beautiful white little girl with long golden hair. Nothing about it looked like me and my dad. My dad is very dark. With a curly Afro. My skin is medium dark. My head holding the nappiest stuff you ever did see. But, it was my beautiful black hair. My naps. My fro. It wasn’t long and golden. It was tight and right. Being black taught me how to see my beauty. No matter what. Being black made me see the world both big and small. #matteristheminimum (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFC58FUp5xi/?igshid=902qn23tugsn

More signage from the #BlackLivesMatter march in #Boston organized by @answercoalition, @massactagainstpolicebrutality and others. I hope wherever Breonna, George, Tamir, Trayvon, Mike, Aiyanna, Ahmaud, Philando, and countless other stolen souls are, they see the uprising occurring in their name and that we won’t stop fighting for justice when the world of pre-pandemic distractions resumes. Protest Safety Notes: * remember to turn off your cell’s cellular data & switch it to Airplane Mode whenever you bring it to a protest. If you can leave your smartphone home and use a burner phone, great. *If you do take pictures, avoid capturing the faces of your fellow protesters. * During COVID19, plain black masks are ideal because they are not distinctive and black makes it harder for facial recognition software to work. It’s for these reasons that black clothes that are neither tight or baggy are advised. * Google how to remove metadata from any pictures you take. It can be surprisingly easy! Also, a phone screenshot of a picture contains no metadata. Godspeed, friends. #blm #nojusticenopeace #justiceforbreonna #blmmarch #blmprotest #blmboston #matteristheminimum #humanrights #civilrights #policebrutality #defundthepolice #protestsigns #protest #antiracist #georgefloyd #breonnataylor https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTN2KFgLzh/?igshid=sbnmowts0gr2

MATTER IS THE MINIMUM. The arrest of George Floyd’s murderers and calls to defund police are steps in the right direction, but only the tip of the iceberg in terms of righting hundreds of years of transgressions against Black people. White people, we are obligated to go above and beyond in educating ourselves on the history of systemic racism in the US and in fighting back against that racism EVERY DAY. You can swipe for a list of things I’ve watched/listened to and found educational, enlightening, and powerful. #matteristheminimum (at Everywhere) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBR6oMUjlIn/?igshid=1sblpn38dpfmi
