We stand against racism. We stand for inclusion. We stand with people of color everywhere. With fellow creators, storytellers, and magic makers. We must stand up and speak out. And make an effort to consciously make changes. We have compiled a list of resources featuring Black Disney Creators and Black-Owned Companies to Support. We’ve also included some Anti-Racism Education Resources to help move humanity forward and into a better place.
“I don’t want your love and light if it doesn’t come with solidarity and action.”– Rachel Elizabeth Cargle
