ティビさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ティビInstagram)「As a company, we know we have the opportunity to bring awareness, act, and hopefully, pave the way to make things better. It isn’t enough that we have a highly dynamic team at Tibi that is inclusive of races, religions, ages, & gender across every level of the company. The events around us right now are heartbreaking & the recognition that we have so much further to go to eradicate systemic discrimination & the devastating effect it has had on our world. I’ve spent the last week reaching out to many in our community. Having intimate conversations, learning, & hearing very personal stories. I spent time dm’ing with an executive this week who told me when she went to the emergency room for what she thought was possibly a heart attack, the hospital staff repeatedly questioned if she had been smoking crack. There were far too many other similar stories shared with me directly over the last 9 days, & far more stories that you can find in the press, or not, as many go unvoiced. What I recognize is I can foster more conversations that can bring awareness to this issue. We’ve also given members of our team opportunities to mentor. At Tibi, our diversity runs deep and this great group of people have a tremendous amount to offer others. Last week I announced that we will be showcasing young black designers weekly at the Tibi store & providing resources for them to learn and support their business. This spring we had also embarked on an initiative with Madison Square Boys and Girls Club working with youths from underserved neighborhoods who need safe, stable and supportive environments where they can learn, be inspired, & know that there is a path forward for them. Our team is creating online classes for them to learn standup comedy, dance, pottery & more. We are hosting an event in the fall to showcase their newfound skills and sell their creations to raise money to support a wide range of programs to support academic success & healthy lifestyles. As a smaller company, we are putting our resources to work where we hope they can have the biggest impact. At Tibi we are united in condemning racism & contributing to a world that is open, fair, & just. #blacklivesmatter」6月7日 4時02分
