Black Lives Matter
I've found myself becoming obsessive over US news broadcasts, hungry for any updates and wondering how it must feel to be a marginalised black person in the US. How could I possibly know or understand what it must feel like? I'm a white male living in London, and I'm all too aware of the privilege that brings me which in itself is fucked! I guess the best thing I can do right now is to show support whether it's through words or action.
As sad and upsetting as the last few days have been surely these past events will push the American people to take a long hard look at themselves and in turn, encourage change? Serious and essential change!

I came across this incredible image whilst scrolling through Instagram this morning and felt that I just had to share it. All proceeds from any print sold on Laura's site up until the end of June will go directly to the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.
