I haven’t posted anything about the BLM movement this week. I have been reading, watching, learning and taking in all the posts that have come up on my feed. Social media is a confusing place right now and sometimes its hard to know what to write that is the right thing to say, or doing the wrong thing like posting a black square when now I see so many people saying not to post a black square. So I didn’t post about it at all. I just kept reading and learning and being horrified by the facts and images I have seen on here and feeling sadness for George and all they have gone before him. And still I don’t know what to write or what to say but saying nothing at all when you have a large following also seems wrong. This image of George Floyd’s daughter on her uncles shoulders from @chrisstewart_esq_ with the quote “my daddy has changed the world” is just so incredibly heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time. So I have no wise words on racism or how to change the world, I will leave that to the thousands or millions of people on here that are far more informed on the topic than me. And I thank them for their voices, for speaking out and teaching us all. I have learnt things this week I never knew I needed to know. I have been disgusted by facts I never knew existed and it breaks my heart to see the extent of the violence and racism that happens daily in some people’s lives. So thank you for those posting and educating us all. I will keep reading. Keep learning. And when my confused child asked me yesterday “why only black lives matter now?” I had the knowledge to know how to explain to her what that means. Why it’s so important that we teach our kids about racism and how important it is to treat everyone equally, as kids in NZ don’t know any differently but to treat each other equally, and we can only pray they grow up without changing that view. But for now, this image. Stunningly sad. Because yes Gianna your daddy has changed the world and she should be so proud. Because even at the bottom of the world in NZ we are having this conversation because of him.
