Racism is taught by collective influence. It may feel like it can't be defeated by just one person. But if we all call out the racist beliefs and actions of people in our lives, individuals can spark collective change. Never sit back and appease racist acts, big or small.
A Lifelong Pledge / Everyone v.s Racists: A Passion Project

Over the summer of 2020, when protests for racial justice sparked across the country and the world, I felt the need to contribute in my own way. To put something good out into the world. I designed a pin that expressed my thoughts about addressing racism as a community.
With the help of some amazing people in my life, we got the pins mad, packaged and sold with the intent of donating all funds toward two programs serving underserved students.
The funds went to these two amazing organizations.

Pins were made in NYC
Big thanks to my people
