Everything I do is to extend that legacy of building a better world than the one I received,” says writer and strategist Brea Baker (@freckledwhileblack).⁣ ⁣ “When Trayvon Martin was assassinated in 2012, it sparked the beginnings of my activism. George Zimmerman’s acquittal over a year later is what would officially politicize me and send me deeper into this work. I became committed to understanding the deep-rooted legacy of racism in this country and how to break the cycle.”⁣ ⁣ Brea was the youngest national organizer of the 2017 Women’s March and served as president of Yale’s NAACP chapter. Her involvement in multiple other civic engagement and advocacy efforts led her to take up her role in Inspire Justice, an organization which advises leading change-makers on social impact strategies.⁣ ⁣ “I have worked to create a world where profit and supremacy do not keep Black people, women and LGBTQ people from living safe and dignified lives. My work builds community and challenges the idea that we inherit a bunch of systems that can't be changed.⁣ ⁣ I hope people leave rethinking everything, and especially the need for caging and policing human beings, and what’s possible if we come together.⁣ ⁣ Young people are so powerful. We set the tone for the present and future of our global community. We are energetic and not so jaded by this world to lose faith in our ability to change it.”⁣ ⁣ #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photo of @freckledwhileblack by @syd.hol」1月14日 2時06分
