“It's a privilege to educate yourself on racism instead of experiencing it!"

Mary's Brigadeiro is led by a black woman and our company stands with the Black community, our voices must be heard and we must stand for true equality. Our hearts are still so heavy, we are still grieving for these tragedies and for the recent events in the US and Canada targeting black communities.

With everything that it's happening now, each one of us must make the moves necessary for a better future based on unity & love. Silence can not be an option, show your voice, your fight for equality and justice in the ways that you can! If you still don't know how to start, take this time to learn more about what happens in this systemic oppression that has been present for decades, open a book, read and focus your energy on listening, learning, sharing, supporting, feeling, acting and amplifying your voice!!!

The change starts with you and together, we can build a better future, but it needs to come from us! Look around you and question yourself, why don't you see more diversity and equality around you? We can change this scenario (and we will). It's happening and it's just the beginning! 

We will share links for you to access. You can learn, educate yourself, support and share it with your friends. Let's including more in our conversations with friends of what's happening and what happened in the past. If we want to change something, we need to start with ourselves! #blacklivesmatter✊🏽
