WAIW | Don’t Listen to Me Right Now
Today somehow marks the 200th episode of the Where Am I Wednesday series, and I have to say I’m thankful to folks for watching even parts of any of the episodes I’ve posted over the years. That being said, if you’re not a Black person, right now is not the time to be listening to me, and I suggest that you listen to and follow Black people instead. There are countless videos, books, blogs, and social media accounts out there that can give you an idea of just what is happening in the United States (as well as other parts of the world, including Canada) right now and what has been happening for a long, long time before this. So, please take the time to pay attention to the work of these people and learn how you can help create change, both within yourself and the world around you.
