    Stand Up For Justice with rIVerse!

    Ya'll, it was cool chatting with Dizz and Khadija of rIVerse.   We discussed a lot from Black Lives Matter, diversity, intersections and their journey and their song "Stand Up".   They describe this powerful track as "a searing call-to-action in the current global fight against police brutality and systemic racism. The track empowers listeners of all races to fight back against police violence, racial profiling and a corrupt system that targets Black men, women, and children."  Learn more on rIVerse in the links below!  Stand Up Video rIVerse on Instagram rIVerse Facebook Page rIVerse on Soundcloud rIVerse TikTok As always, I can be reached at Les@LesLighthouse.com;  IG and Twitter
