BLM Fundraisers

Thank you so much to those who made a recent purchase from my shop!

As a reminder, I’m doing a fundraiser and donating 100% of the profits this month. I originally intended to send the funds to Reclaim the block but, they have since received overwhelming support and are now re-directing donations elsewhere. After much consideration, I’ve decided to send my donation to Black Lives Matter Toronto instead.

I’ve been outraged like many about another police brutality, this time against George Floyd which resulted in his tragic death.  I have thought long and hard about how I can possibly make a difference?

I absolutely recognize my privilege as a non-black POC. I’m a Filipino-Canadian and I will never encounter anything remotely close to what our black brothers and sisters face every single day, but that does not mean I will sit in silence.

I’ve been plugging away at this post gathering as much resource and information as possible to be informed. I stand with the black community, always, and the least I can do is listen, learn, and amplify their message.

I hope you’ll find this useful. I encourage you to take action.
