Monday recos: BLM
Over the next month, we’ll be using our weekly recommendations story slides to share the voices and the stories of BIPOC that we’re reading, watching, listening to and learning from. We acknowledge our privilege and want to use our platform to amplify those voices. You’ll be able to find links to resources mentioned in our bio, in the hopes that it may encourage some of our followers to swap social media scrolling time, for active education. We have donated to the following organisations: @healingourway @childrensground; and have pledged ongoing support to @grassroots_ptr We whole-heartedly stand behind all BIPOC. #blacklivesmatter Victoria, Nicole, Selenna & Josh x Pictured: Dr. Jane Cooke Wright, a physician who was among the cancer researchers to discover chemotherapy. Jane’s father, Dr. Louis Wright, was one of the first black people to graduate from Harvard Medical School. Read more about Jane’s incredible life below.

This list will be updated every week as we continue to educate ourselves. Head to our IG stories each Monday to hear what we learnt about the BLM movement.
