Kindness is Usefulness: Black Lives Matter
I am listening and learning. As a company, we are listening and learning. There has been an overload of information recently and we wanted to share a variety of resources we’ve discovered (or rediscovered, and seen from a new perspective) over this past week.
Black lives have always mattered to us. Brutality and senseless death have always been evil. We are devastated by the tragedies that have occurred and are occurring in our society, including the death of George Floyd and many others.
Our mission here at Whitney English is to help you get rid of busy and find balance and beauty in life. We believe in kindness. We believe that kindness is usefulness so we’re sharing the following so they can live permanently here on the blog. I’m also sharing some of my favorite creators, interior designers, and influencers that have brought me great inspiration.
