Alex is your guide to everything Dallas. She has checked on our physical and mental well being every day. She has numerous resources for businesses and bloggers. In a post she said:
"Just know that in this age of information, ignorance is really a choice. || I have spent the last few days really just talking to my friends and listening to all their stories. I’ve also been reading and researching and learning. The number of heartbreaking stories I have read and been told this past week is definitely weighing heavy on me but also has opened my eyes even more..."

Monica is the sweetest, most truthful creator out there. She is not about the drama and will call it as she sees it. Her stories are filled with unbiased information. In a post she said:
"The words of Angela Davis in 1972 about violence in America. As said by her “In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist we must be antiracist.” Violence is not the answer but understand WHY! Take the time to educate yourself. There are so many leaders and black freedom writers to learn from. Knowledge is power. Silence is violence..."

3. theskinnyconfidential
We have been following each other for a year and can tell you that Lauren is the most supportive ally out here. She put out a video that said:
"Being a good human is to practice empathy and try to understand other people’s experiences and perspectives, to not project your own experiences on to others, to boldly call out wrongdoing when you see it, to try to use a privileged platform to promote and broadcast voices that have been unheard, to do your best to silence those who promote hatred & oppression, and to remember that it starts at home- kindness, acceptance, inclusion of all walks of life, and empathy are examples all children should have. "

"I want us to fight for injustice in REAL LIFE + in public. To speak out and to really be there for our black brothers and sisters that have BEEN needing us since day one. Racism isn’t new and we should all do better at staying informed and being there when people need us."

Valentina is a health care worker who is baking up a plant-based storm in the kitchen. We love how she uses food to unit people together. In a post she said:
"In times like these, there is no shame in falling back on what you know. And what I KNOW is that food brings people together and unites us across cultural and individual differences. I will be participating in@bakersagainstracismto fundraise for organizations supporting#BlackLivesMatter. I haven’t decided yet if I will be supporting just one organization or multiple!"
