Earlier this week on Instagram, I shared the resources Smart Girl Tribe is using to navigate the current climate. It has always been my mission to focus on the issues that matter. #blacklivesmatter is not a trend, but a call-to-action and we can always learn more. You can listen to our podcast, episodes include : My life as a female black artist with Forbes 30 under 30 alumnus Sarah Owusu, The history of Southall black sisters with Rahila Gupta and How to take action to help the BLM community .
