I Rock, I Roll. I Bloom, I Glow 🌻

Love and exchange light everywhere you go.

Be bright in places that are dark

Treat others the way you want to be treated

If you want people to love you

You have to love them.

Make the world a better place

Leave your mark by leaving yourself

Your presence

In the hearts and folds of the world and it’s people

I’m not okay

I quit my job because a brand new employee made a racist comment and I was sexually harassed as in the same day.

I quit because I was made uncomfortable. Because I do not want to live in fear. I want to be safe.

I made an announcement about it because I wanted other people to know that this was happening and this was not okay.

Everyone told me how proud they were and what steps I should take next to deal with it .

But no one asked if I was okay.

And actually I think one or two people did and my response was yes!

Because I handled it and everyone was proud of me.

But no I am not okay.

I didn’t need to be reminded of every other assault or harassment I was subjected to.

I didn’t need my ptsd to kick in

I didn’t need to be reminded that not everyone sees me as a human and I should be aware of my facticity.

Yea I did the right thing but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

And it still happened.

My Family looks good They’re glowing Their spirits shine through Clear as day They’re each going places Taking off And never turning back My family looks, Hella Good

Reblogging once again. I didn’t hear myself the first time. I was sitting in the back. I’m working my way to the front of the room so I can get the message loud and clear ✌🏾

We gotta push for the betterment of humanity. We have to push for humans to be treated as humans.

UPDATES ON AMAZON PRIME STRIKE AND PRIME DAY!

The basics:

Thousands of workers in Spain, Germany and the US have been striking leading up to and on Prime Day, Amazon’s biggest sale, calling for better working conditions, pay and health benefits.

Nearly 1,800 Amazon workers (96% of the workers at the San Fernando warehouse) in Spain went on strike Monday during Prime Day, the company’s biggest sales day of the year

Thousands more Amazon employees in Germany are expected to walk off the job Tuesday, the second day of the sale in six warehouses.

 Amazon’s website and mobile app crashed for about 45 minutes, due to a computer glitch – the most widespread to date, costing Amazon millions of dollars

In the US, advocacy groups are planning several consumer rallies outside Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market locations to protest the sale of Nazi, Confederate and white nationalist merchandise through Amazon’s marketplace of third-party sellers. 

Amazon is still expected to profit more this year than last year. Let’s hope we can keep spreading the word about the boycott and prove them wrong. Spain’s strike is supposed to last through the 18th, so keep boycotting

This was beautiful
