With the black community pushing for a stop to police brutality, racism and discrimination, we are hoping for an increase in inclusion, acknowledgement and acceptance. The Black Lives Matter movement was reinvigorated after the death of George Floyd and protests having been taking place internationally. As demonstrators march in cities like New York, Atlanta and London, celebrities that are not people of color have also been speaking up and vowing to give more recognition to the plight of the Black community. One person who recently made this promise is Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
In a note to her staff, she sent a heartfelt message to her Black employees.
“I want to start by acknowledging your feelings and expressing my empathy towards what so many of you are going through: sadness, hurt, and anger too,” Wintour wrote according to Page Six.
