Why
Our Mission
What
The current crisis of police brutality and racist attacks on blacks and people of color have sparked outrage across the US and throughout the world. The racial justice and anti-police violence activism so prominent over the last few months is not new, but it is louder and more insistent on change. Storytelling provides an outlet for true, lived BIPOC experiences. These stories matter.
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to elevate BIPOC voices, magnify their stories and lived experiences, and inspire conscious effort by listeners to be educated, actively antiracist allies.
Melanin Stories Matter aims to raise awareness about conscious changes we can make to be more inclusive, no matter our melanin level.
Let's Talk about BIPOC
Inclusive
We don't really like the oversimplified catch-all of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, but the more we tried to include all ethnicities and identities, the more we felt like we were simply creating a laundry list and losing the big picture. So, to be clear:
Melanin Stories Matter is a platform for ALL people of color who experience racism or colorism as a result of colonialism.
