It's been an intense couple of weeks with the uprisings globally in our community about seamless murders of black lives in America and South Africa which is why we've postponed a lot of articles to focus on truly being pivotal leaders in the black community who bring change. Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter as this weekend we will put our focus on different ways through monetary and non-monetary actions to combat #BlackLivesMatter and putting an end to gender-based violence. For those who take the stance of #AllLivesMatter Siri herself breaks down what that "movement" stands for. As we move into different seasons it is also important to remember that we are in a global pandemic and headed towards a global recession. I advise BAAB Members to save when they can,wash their hands and practice social distancing.
