Stay open hearted. When you’re called out, feel shitty, be embarrassed, crawl into a hole of shame like I often do — but then emerge more educated, more considerate and more compassionate and more empathetic. We are not stones, we are constantly evolving creatures who make mistakes, and I am so grateful for people like @_enterthedragon_ who so bravely face ignorance and cruelty every day in hopes of reaching people open to growing. Sharing stories is hard stuff — accepting stories is hard stuff too, but validating one persons perspective doesn’t mean your story is invalid. Sometimes we just need to do some shifting around to make room for everyone in our house of love, but (I think) the party’s worth it. #Repost @_enterthedragon_ ・・・ #reconciliationweek https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDW7N2pn2N/?igshid=1ff0gpyhrc079

The logo for National Reconciliation Week 2021 by 33 Creative featuring the amazing artwork of artist Jessica Johnson of Nungala Creative. Johnson has a highly creative and innovative approach with a distinct voice shaped by her unique lived experience. The design elements included in the logo tells the story of the active approach needed for action. Every person is asked to stand up for reconciliation and use their mind and soul to enact change. The theme for 2021 – More than a word. Reconciliation takes action – asks for a whole-of-community response. Drawing on the strength of Reconciliation Australia’s 20th anniversary, let us come together, and take action for Reconciliation. -https://nrw.reconciliation.org.au • • • • • #reconciliation #naarm #victoria #australia #reconciliationweek #poster #nrw #artist #art (at Wurundjeri Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPXTtO9tcrl/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today (June 3rd) is the last day of Reconciliation Week. This week all over the world we've seen how much work there is yet to do - not just in the US but in our own backyards. Indigenous Australians make up 3% of the population yet represent 28% of the prison population. More than 400 deaths while in custody have been recorded since the 1991 royal commission into Indigenous deaths in custody. Today I have linked a GoFundMe in my bio which is started by Sisters Inside Inc., who work to support Indigenous women who are imprisoned - many of whom are single mothers and who are only in jail because they cannot afford to pay for fines for minor offences. The money in the GFM goes toward bailing these women out of jail. There is also a direct donation link on their website that goes to supporting the children of these incarcerated women. Infographic by @thedailyaus - please see their original post for more info and reference material. @guardianaustralia have also compiled a database of all the Indigenous deaths while in custody. #reconciliationweek #sorryday #indigenouslivesmatter #sistersinsideinc #indigenousdeathsincustody https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-MhnsjoKS/?igshid=1b86b80y08rdd
