A very belated, massive thank you to everybody so far that has supported my last release. I am so, so grateful for that. Shout out to @bandcamp who are waiving their revenue shares today so all proceeds go directly to artists! π€ With that in mind I have decided to donate the proceeds of my last EP #livemeknot to two causes I believe in strongly: @_beamorg - a movement dedicated to creating a world where there are no barriers to Black healing and an amazing resource: @masi_movement_asylum_seekers to assist with direct provision in Ireland to provide justice, freedom and dignity to all asylum seekers. We all have the ability to influence positive change and if you have resources to spare, please look into donating to any of the many, many causes. Listen. Read. Educate. Sign petitions. @naacp is a great starting point. It may not be comfortable reading but it is well overdue. Join online and live protests while staying as safe as possible. Document where you can and try to interrogate any media you absorb. Call your local government. Email them, send them a letter if you can. Anybody wants to buy anything off my Bandcamp page today, I'll donate that too. Everything there is pay what you wish π€ Amazing Irish musicians and authors of colour worth following: @musicbyloah, an amazing composer and performer I have had the privilege to play with back in the day π below recommendations copied from her: @emmadabiri who is a scholar and a great person with whom to learn from and this is her job and gift @akalamusic a rapper, academic and also an amazing person to learn from, he has countless videos online, lectures, panel discussions. #blacklivesmatter #enddirectprovision #blm #artists #silenceisviolence #nojusticenopeace #whitesilenceisviolence #violin #violinist #ep #liveep #livemusic #art #artist #composer (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEMIYInw1M/?igshid=atbme7phrnwg
