I sincerely hope you are all well during this time, and please know that my email and DMs are always open. This past week I spent much of my time offline signing petitions and locating other resources, and I wanted to share some of those resources with you in a more permanent place (a blog post). Because I don’t have the swipe-up feature on Instagram stories I could only feature one link at a time in my bio, and found I was sharing more and finding more on Twitter.
I don’t want to write this post to in any way use my internet space to speak over other voices. For that reason, after this introduction I will mostly be posting links to information as well as to videos I found to be incredibly important and helpful. There are many ways to support, so without further ado here are links (that I will update regularly) that I hope are helpful and feel free to leave others in the comments below or send me a message so I can add them to this post. Feel free to link to your businesses in the comments as well or message me so I can add them!
