Links I Love Week 23

On Tuesday, my weekly email launched at my normal time and it shouldn’t have. If I offended anyone by putting out content this week I am truly sorry. Whatever I said or didn’t say would be met with criticism, and I froze. I take every comment seriously and I am a very sensitive person.

What I have learned this week by reading and listening to the community is that we will make mistakes but it is also important to share my voice. I was reminded by some of my readers that I do have a large platform and I need to use it.

I was asked by one of my readers, Alyssa to include links that highlight projects and stories of brown and black Francophiles. I want to do better and be more inclusive, not just this week but going forward. This is where I need YOUR help! If you read a post that you think would be helpful or interesting to this community, I would love to read it and consider it for the weekly roundup. You can email me at [email protected] I would really appreciate this!
