When Austria’s chancellor announced major restrictions in March, my friend Laura and I have taken the initiative to support the Viennese local businesses to get through the hard lockdown times. However, in the midst of pandemic we need to deal with injustice and continue fighting against the human virus: racism. Whether protesting, donating and signing petitions, there are also other ways to support the Black Lives Matter movement.

Thanks to Instagram I discovered amazing Black-owned brands to shop now and forever. Continue the #BlackLivesMatter conversation with everyone around you, and don’t stop educating yourself by reading this list of great books.
