reflect: three things I learned from a week of listening

Why I’m speaking about black lives matter

Last week I participated in the #amplifymelanatedvoices challenge by muting my own content on the internet and social media. Instead of using my own voice, I chose to repost (with credit) the voices of people who have been doing this work FAR longer than I have.

I learned a lot, and today I’m sharing three things I learned with you.

Before I do that, I want to answer a common question I’ve gotten this week.

Why am I, as a white woman, a human movement specialist, speaking out about #blacklivesmatter ? Why am I making my page political? Aren’t I married to a cop? Don’t I just write about lululemon and movement? Shouldn’t I just keep my personal opinions around race to myself?

These are questions I answer inside, along with three tips to be a better learner.

Thanks for being here!
