View this post on Instagram In the last few days I have been sick to my stomach and angry and feeling a sense of helplessness as to what I can do to help. As a mother we need to start in our homes and children are never too young to understand injustices. They are never to young to understand the concept of pointing out when we see things that are unfair or not right. Get angry, I am so angry but DO something. Let and anger fuel you but lead with love. The conversation starts NOW. #georgefloyd A post shared by Melinda Maria (@melindamaria_jewelry) on May 30, 2020 at 10:45am PDT
View this post on Instagram Like many others, we have been deeply saddened by the death of George Floyd. We cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering of his family and friends and anyone else who has been affected by bigotry, violence and racial injustice. We may not have the exact right words to say, but as a brand with a platform, we feel a responsibility to speak up and say, what's happening is not okay. Today we stand united with our community and repeat, it is time for us all to act. As Martin Luther King said, "change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability". Great change only comes through collective action. We've made a donation to the #BlackLivesMatter movement and ask you to consider what you can do today to help support change? Below are some other resources where you can donate or learn more: @blklivesmatter @NAACP @Changedotorg A post shared by Satya Jewelry (@satyajewelry) on Jun 1, 2020 at 4:39pm PDT

View this post on Instagram We are shaken by the events of the last week which include the tragic death of Mr. Floyd. We stand in solidarity with the Black community. It is the place we have to be. We have to do better. Plain and simple. Speak up, engage in dialogue that might be uncomfortable, educate yourself and your family and if you have a few hours each week and the inclination, find somewhere to volunteer and let our brothers and sisters know you care. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With love,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cathy & my team A post shared by @ cathywaterman on Jun 1, 2020 at 2:51pm PDT
