how to: calligraphy & hand lettering for beginners

Hi all! I’ve gone back and forth on whether to post this in light of the importance of bolstering & engaging with educational BLM content -- specifically regarding the question of whether posting a video like this is enabling those who are staying silent to live in their happy, privileged, ignorant bubbles and avoid all BLM content. But I've decided to post this because (and @cheyennebarton put this really well) being a part of the fight for institutional & interpersonal change requires taking breaks to take care of yourself. So, if you want it, this video is here as a distraction. Much love to you all.

A note: I don’t make money from my videos, but if I somehow suddenly qualify for monetization, I will donate any profit from this video to the Richmond Community Bail Fund and Freedom Fighters D.C. (my state's bail funds!)
