I've always been passionate about Black Lives Matter since I was in middle school. I've taken several social justice and inequalities classes to further educate myself on these kinds of issues. I also attended a few protests this year as I felt it was necessary to be an ally as a non-black POC. The protest which moved me the most was the one I attended on June 7, 2020 in Glastonbury, CT. Marching alongside all kinds of people, I felt united, unafraid, and knew I was doing the right thing.
