Not Just a Pretty (Inter)Face

05/02/2021

Month 5 and life couldn't have been more exciting. Lots of projects on the go, but I had to find a day to fix the office. Pastel lilac just didn't scream me, I had to hue up the colors. 💜💖❤🤍💼

It's impossible to be silent amidst this chaos. What is happening today in the world is a result of hundreds of years of systemic racism and exploitation of Black Lives. Black Lives built my home country 🇧🇷, my birth country 🇺🇸 and my adopted country 🇨🇦. And in return they are massacred everyday due to the color of their skin. If can go out and fight, do it. If you can donate, donate. If you can't leave your house, then think about your own actions and how you can help fight racism in your own community. Black Lives Matters. Always have and always will. If our brothers and sisters aren't safe being home, jogging or paying for their groceries, we have failed as a society and as human beings.
