#BlackLivesMatter Staff Resources & Recommendations

As an agency, and as individuals, we’ve been taking the extra time and effort to immerse ourselves in the Black Lives Matter movement. We wanted to share some of our staff’s personal recommendations. We hope you’ll join us in reading, listening, and continuing to put words into action.

A Time to Kill: This movie shows how unfair the justice system can be to Black Americans. It's a timeless movie!

CHELSEA ENSEL, Senior Account Executive

How to Dismantle Systemic Racism by @ PatiasFantasyWorld: This is a HUGE resource guide that is a excellent for white people who are looking to educate themselves further. There is a whole section on White 2 White Conversation Topics that is really useful for getting white folks who may have been uncomfortable talking about race to commence.

@TheManacho: This IGTV series is a great educational resource. Emmanuel Acho will be continuing his series of “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man” and eventually writing a book compiling all of his experiences and conversations. He also just did an IG live with Lili Reinhart featured in her IGTV feed. I find the way he presents to be informative and inspiring. Looking forward to following along!
