This account was started during the summer of 2020 by me, Anne, following the uproar caused by the unjust murder of George Floyd. Seeing the protests for the Black Lives Matter movement along with many others inspired me. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and living a world away, I wasn't able to participate in any protests myself so I decided I wanted to help the only way I knew how. Spreading the word, educating others as well as myself, sharing resources, and more. Starting the Instagram account @_.beingbetter was a huge help in my personal growth and growth as an activist. I had the passion but I now also had the facts to back it up when I got into a heated political or social argument. This account has definitely helped me in more ways than I can count, it is a constant reminder that I have a voice, one that deserves to be heard and one that should be used to help amplify the voices of other oppressed communities. Always. So, Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, Destigmatize Mental Health, Autism Awareness, etc. are not just hashtags or sayings to me, I’ve learned that by using these as tools, we can learn, teach and try for a better future.
