Tuna {breed:chiweenie} のインスタグラム(tunameltsmyheart) - 6月1日 03時34分

My intention and hope behind Tuna’s account has always been about bringing people joy and laughter, especially during times of uncertainty, confusion, anger, and division, and that will remain my mission. Since Tuna is a dog who helps people forget their problems and their sorrows, I have intentionally tried to keep the narrative around things related to him and the pet space, as well as deviate from issues that are heavy for the human spirit. In fact, my hope is to do the opposite- to be a catalyst to lift up the human spirit. That said, everything that’s been transpiring the last week (and over the last several generations) is a human issue, and while Tuna is a dog, I am a human with a voice and an audience. My skin colour is white and I don’t have any idea what it’s like to be black. So I asked myself this morning, that if I, Tuna’s mom, was black, would I keep silent or would I use the platform I’ve been given to speak up and say something? This is the “why” for this post. I don’t even know what to say except that we need to do so much more to break off the systemic mindsets and the generational curse that we all have been placed under. We need to dismantle and abolish the strategic systems that have been designed to elevate white people and suppress and oppress black people for generations. It’s dangerous and it’s evil. That’s racism. We need to educate ourselves way more about the things that we know to be true and to relearn a new way to think about the things that we have been taught if our skin colour is white. Please be apart of the solution to resolve this generational divide, and I give you my word, I will do the same. Ps: If I get comments saying “stick to the dog” or “I come here to escape these kind of posts,” know this: I will continue to post joyful, funny content about Tuna, but since this is my platform, I felt led to address this and so I did. It needed to be said because there are a lot of people right now who need to be heard.
