I am so frustrated with the lack of news coverage, mutual aide and collective acknowledgement of African harm. As usual, I turn inward to our community!

Thank you for advocating and supporting African liberation.

I realize with all the support groups focused on mental health VERY few are specifically for recovery from racial violence. With so many therapists booked and busy, where does one turn in crisis? With so many organizations without valid contact information, who can you reply on?

I wonder what i can do in the mist of all this, from afar.

For those who get their news from me, i will add Newscaster to my resume. Tuskegee University an African college experienced a vigilante shooting during Homecoming. These types of attacks are commonplace in our community since first contact with European conquistadors although exacerbated once trafficked to Turtle Island and more recently due to our latest election.

We have a glorious opportunity to join together to unify humanity. You in?

If you have any mutual aide resources or organizer contacts in the area, please contact us. If you are able, please, donate to the mental health fund for these students. Definitely share this with your network, students and educators.

We will be updating this page as new information develops. I am totally embarrassed by the shortness of this list. I pray others will take up action, mobilize and network.

Thank you for being, you are a shining star!!
