New issues released quarterly!
New issues released quarterly!
It's Real stands in humble and unwavering support of Black Lives Matter, and related movements challenging recent and historical crimes against Black Americans, including Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Charleena Lyles, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Oluwaytoyin Salau, and countless others. As a non-BIPOC publication, we must stand in firm support of Black-led protests in all their forms.
To our non-black readers, we acknowledge the lack of Black Asians that have appeared in our publications, and we pledge to uphold the Black community as a whole by 1) matching donations to The Loveland Foundation, an organization specializing in and providing free therapy for the Black community; 2) pledging to feature and support Black art and artists on our social media; 3) updating our Resources page to provide consistent and continuous information regarding Black and Indigenous issues; and 4) updating our Midweek Musings blog to address the intersections of Asian and Black identity.
Our purpose in releasing this statement is aimed towards public accountability. We'd like to ask our readers not to share this statement, but the resources provided on our website, where we will highlight important resources shared by Black artists and activist - voices that should be forefronted in this time.
Thank you for your support. #BlackLivesMatter
