Since I Found Serenity

me, thinking about store #723 🥰 • Yesterday was my last day at Stockton St. I never thought I would spend so long working retail, but when it’s Disney, it’s more than that. I’m not leaving the company, simply moving to a different location, but I will miss my San Francisco store so much. I am so incredibly grateful to have met such wonderful people who are nothing but supportive and loving. Staying here so long was not my plan, but I’m so glad it happened this way. I’ve learned a lot and I can’t imagine where my life would be if it happened any other way. To my fellow cast members, I’ll miss the sing alongs, the musical mondays, the trivia over the walkie, but mostly I’ll miss seeing you all every day. I love you all so much and I can’t wait to “see ya real soon!” 💖 • [accessibility text: picture of me in my shopDisney costume, a checkered shirt and a blue vest. I’m looking up as if daydreaming while leaning on my hand inside the Disney store.

happy pride bbys 🌈 • • #notquitearainbow #closeenough? #pride • • please if you can, consider donating to an organization that benefits and helps Queer BIPOC folx! Lots of info in my stories/highlights! • • We have Pride today because of the Stonewall riots started by Black and Brown trans women. Don’t forget them when you’re telling Queer history. Honor them by fighting for them, today and every day. 💖 Art on the last slide by @shrimpteeth !! Seriously check out their page for some stellar LGBT+ and sex positive content!

Happy Birthday Breonna. You should have been here to celebrate it. • If you haven’t already, visit bit.ly/BirthdayforBreonna to demand justice. None of the officers in her case have been arrested yet. Say her name. Celebrate her life. Demand justice. She would have been 27 today. • #JusticeforBreonna #BirthdayforBreonna #BlackLivesMatter #BLM #SayHerName https://www.instagram.com/p/CBE8X2eDGvk/?igshid=rtq5eq8wp69a

You don’t have to do everything. Some people are broke. Some people don’t feel safe at protests. Some people get anxious with too much social media. You don’t have to do EVERYTHING. You do have to do SOMETHING. • Something you absolutely have to do is keep yourself educated and keep calling out and acknowledging racism and privilege within yourself and others.

We want to make sure that our activism and devotion to being actively anti-racist goes beyond the present moment. This is a great way to do that! @brybry1217 has done all the work and laid it out for you! For the month of June, this document will guide you on how you can educate yourself a little bit every single day using Black books and media and you can choose how much time you have to commit. Just 10, 25, or 45 minutes per day. LINK IN BIO. • I also will continue to host the official #BlackLivesMatter link in my bio so you continue to donate, sign petitions, and find other ways to help. Remember, your dedication is needed beyond the present moment! • Don’t forget to continue supporting Black businesses and Black lives today and every day. #BLM (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-045Gjdhm/?igshid=1j6r13e1iqbqd

We can’t celebrate Pride today without acknowledging and accepting its roots. Stonewall was not a party. It was a riot. It was more than a fight for equality. It was a fight for justice. We cannot be truly prideful if we do not stand up in support of our Black friends and family while they are fighting for their justice. Your pride is not Pride if it isn’t intersectional. That being said, Happy Pride, y’all 🌈 • #BlackLivesMatter #Intersectionality #LGBTQ #HappyPride • (thank you @manaerys for your photoshop skills) (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA60JEcDJ61/?igshid=qwfg3vjq6k74

It’s as simple as that. I will be posting resources in my story daily and share how I am using my privilege to help. • Fellow white people, we need to do better. Posting isn’t enough. We need to show up and demand change for our friends, neighbors, family, and for our country. This isn’t just for now or for today or while this story is trending. We need to continue to challenge and fight the white supremacy and racism in ourselves and our communities. Black Lives Matter. Today and every single day before and after. • #BlackLivesMatter link in my bio. Information for donations, protest guidelines, education and more all in one place. DM me if you need to talk. My virtual door is always open. (Don’t ask your black friends what you can do - research and figure it out. It is not their job to educate you.) • #blm #justice #justiceforgeorgefloyd #justiceforahmaud #justiceforbreonnataylor (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3_NsXD0eC/?igshid=15ueynyzzc1mh
