It’s been one year since we all posted a black square for #blackouttuesday.
Posting a black square has to be paired with active allyship and a commitment to learn, unlearn, listen, and dismantle anti-black racism in our world.

Huge thanks to @kyravalley for:
1) Calling us in for a conversation on how our project over generalized the term settler (overlooking the complexity and nuance around it) particularly with regards to descendants of slaves who were trafficked by colonizers and enslaved.
and
2) Being available and willing to look over this post and provide constructive criticism and challenging our team to be more critical and direct
To quote our new friend Kyra “this is love, this is community at its best”
Thank you so much @kyravalley source
