The sad reason why famous white women are handing over their Instagram accounts
Kourtney Kardashian’s Instagram is going to look and sound different on Wednesday. Same for Julia Roberts’, Ashley Graham’s, Gwyneth Paltrow’s, Hilary Swank’s and many more.
Those white stars and dozens more will hand over their accounts to nearly four dozen black women in an attempt to amplify the latter’s voices beyond their usual social media reach.
“When the world listens to women, it listens to white women,” the campaign said in its mission statement. “For far too long, Black women’s voices have gone unheard, even though they’ve been using their voices loudly for centuries to enact change. Today, more than ever, it is NECESSARY that we create a unifying action to center Black women’s lives, stories, and calls to action.”
