#BLACKLIVESMATTER ...more than ever

It is true, "Unity" is what's going to make a change... but in order to unite we need to accept "Diversity" at its core.

"It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength" ~Maya Angelou

And make no mistakes, I do think that all lives matter, of course they do, but black lives matter right now more than ever... it is the house on fire... ~Anahit
