Today’s video is the one in which I break my silence. I hardly ever voice my opinions on important matters online as from my experience nothing ever comes from it apart from a lot of stress and other nastiness. That and the fact that I am reluctant to share as I often don’t deem myself an expert enough to talk about these kinds of topics. But given everything that is going on I just couldn’t stay silent anymore. So this video is all about how to support black owned makeup brands, black authors and black artists, because if our aim is advocacy than the start is to support black owned business and by listening to their voices through their words, art and music.
