There has been a discussion...

Mostly on Instagram, in the knitting community there has been an active, seemingly productive, discussion about race.  My reach and audience is....limited.  It would not matter the platform used really, but you have to try.  There was also no way I was not going to say something, even in a minor way.

These lovely humans, aside from making wonderful things, have said it better than I can, as I do not have the personal perspective to do so; ggmadeit, jeanettesloan, su.krita, ocean_bythesea, and thecolormustard

Jeanette Sloan also has a lovely page of POC designers and crafters.  Expand your horizons, find more people that make beautiful things.  On Instagram?  Follow Meet Makers of Color.

This is the Swag page of Neighborhood Fiber Co.  there are bits with "Unity" on them.  We are a community.  All of us.  Read a post.  Like a picture.  Buy something gorgeous (or even just a coffee) from (or for) a new to you maker.  Please, do not just sit there.  Listen to what is being said.  Say something.  Do something.  Make our community better by including everyone.
