If someone had asked me just a few weeks ago if I were racist, I would have emphatically said ‘no’ and been defensive. ⁣
⁣
However, I have started a bigger journey of learning and unlearning. I am becoming more aware of unconscious racial tendencies, systemic racism and the privilege that white people have. ⁣
⁣
Racism is real. Racism is wrong. Black lives matter. ⁣
⁣
We have searched our souls, held deep conversations, cried together and started discussing this more with our children.⁣
⁣
This will be a life long journey of standing with our Black brothers and sisters. I’m committed to doing the work and continuing my education and action towards fighting racism. ⁣

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8⁣

As I return to posting regular content this week please know that this does not mean my attention is shifting away from this very important work. You can find some resources I’ve found helpful saved in my stories, where I’ll continue to add to them moving forward.

Editing to clarify: my intention in this post is we = white people. Clarity is important and I’m sorry this needed more of it. White people need to do better. I need to do better. Black lives matter. I care deeply.
Original post:

We have to do better. I’m bringing a conversation we’ve been having in my communities (Flourish and Immersion) here as well, because I consider you a part of my community as well! We flourish because we are made of many - many different cultures, countries and colors make us whole. Each and every voice here matters equally. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To be fully transparent, my words are muddled and I’m not sure exactly what to say, but I know saying something is better than nothing. To my creatives of color, you matter here, your voice matters. I see you. I hear you. I care about you. I know that we must do better. I’m sorry. You are safe here.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I am learning, leaning in, listening, and striving to do what is right. I encourage everyone to do the same, as much as possible. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We must support each other. We must lift each other up. ⁣
⁣⁣
So much love for each of you. ⁣⁣

Perhaps my most favorite room in the new studio is

Perhaps my most favorite room in the new studio is the break room (you HAVE to swipe to see the before😵then keep on swiping ... 😁⁣). ⁣
⁣
The details in this room and those cozy green walls make it a place I want to be alllll the time. It's both comfortable and functional, which is always my goal!⁣🙌🏻
⁣
RENO details: underneath that carpet were these beautiful (original!) hard wood floors. We replaced the drop ceiling with reproduction tiles, installed that grid window (a STEAL we found at a local antique shop) and added a sink and fridge for coffee / food prep. Add a little paint and it was DONE!⚡️

After 6 months of renovation, the new studio is DO

After 6 months of renovation, the new studio is DONE!😅Swipe to see the before, then keep on swiping ... ⁣😄
⁣
The backstory: when my sister and I had the opportunity to take this space and turn it into our own, we couldn't pass it up. We could see the potential and new it could be amazing! So we dove in head first.🤪The space has 5 offices that the family split, along with the main conference room and the break room (my favorite).
⁣
I'll be sharing more images of these rooms over the next few weeks, but you can also see a full tour in my stories!🥰
