    How to authentically support Black Lives Matter publicly

    So many white people don’t know how to show their public support for the recent uprising and support for Black Lives Matter. It can feel performative to post about how you are being an effective ally, so how do you make it feel authentic and thoughtful? I share the story of how my client and I created a process to determine what she would post.

I share my 5 step process to help you decide how you will go public with your support for BLM. Thank you.
