1️⃣ Happiness/Joy. This is how I feel before opening my social media.
2️⃣ Fear. Trying not to see anything BLM because it is too heavy. Secondary trauma is a real thing.
3️⃣ Rage. Being angry that my community is being oppressed and that my life is worth less than the life of White people.
4️⃣ Discourage. Avoiding any more triggering content.
5️⃣ Fury. People are no longer talking about Black Lives Matter as if it was a social media trend... really disappointing and frustrating!
6️⃣ Despair. When will this end!!
7️⃣ Normal. Acting like everything is okay and we don’t live in a messed up world.
