Regarding the Opening of Black Goat Fibers

After discussing it with Robyn, I've decided to postpone the opening of Black Goat Fibers until July 17th.

 

To promote myself, pretending everything is fine, while people are out fighting for the right to exist freely and without fear for their lives, is against everything I try to be as a person. 

Instead, I will be using my platform to continue to share and amplify Black voices, leaders, and creators during this time, as well as share important resources and information. 

Below you will find a list of resources, as well as places you can donate your money, time, and energy to.
