We stand in solidarity with black people around the world. And we want to do more to help, but we’re not sure how.
We’ve spoken with some of our African-Canadian teammates and they’ve told us of how they have come to accept a fear, even here in Canada, that people of European descent just don’t experience.
This has to stop.
If you have some ideas, please share them in the comments below. One of the best things I've heard in the last several months is to listen and learn. We are all ears.
I think one area that would be good to help is partnering with entrepreneurs in the black community. Sourcing items from them would be great and you could include information about their company in case they carry other products you don’t plan to carry. Could also reach out to charitable organizations that help black communities to be part of their events.
