Alright - the past few weeks have been intense, but in what we believe to be also productive! One of our local Black influencer, Sasha Exeter, publicly announced on her IGTV that Jessica Mulroney had attempted to silence her for speaking out against Black Lives Matter and encouraging her involvement. What spiralled into a nation-wide story, Sasha has been praised for her bravery in speaking out against such a powerful voice in the media space like Jessica while Jessica has been cut from popular network CTV and other partners. We share our thoughts and also talk about our own controversy that happened where 4 local influencers were publicly called out using inaccurate claims and false accusations. This is a must listen! We fully support the Black Lives Matter movement and have found the following resources useful:For our locals:Blackowned.kwBlackowned.toAnti-racism resources:https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1BRlF2_zhNe86SGgHa6-VlBO-QgirITwCTugSfKie5Fs/mobilebasic BLM Ally Resources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_9XKuxSqlglGA79RHJIQ8YTbvuu7RwsJCA-Dx6H33MM/mobilebasic Black Lives Matter Fund: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ms_blm_homepage_2019BIPOC Mental Heath Resources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dWShg0TZ7nJz5YJsCa1DyGCGTJMrUEd8du5vC6boVhs/mobilebasic
