We are committed to being and doing better.
We stand with all who know #BlackLivesMatter
"Change isn't easy, but it starts by questioning what we have always done or believe. In every day, we must continue to listen more, to learn more, to speak out, and to take steps that ensure a better life for all.
We can all help become the change we want, need, to see. Think, speak or read differently. Each of us can do more"
Kristy Chong
Founder Modibodi
