I always get inspired watching your videos. Love how you have your planners set up! You can re-use the pages by using them for scrapbooking, memory keeping, or mixed media journal pages. Thanks for always listing the links where you get all the awesome planner things that you use. So many fun and positive things.
Hi Sarra! Just have to say, I love the aesthetic of this planner so much! It's giving me all the summer vibes. As always, thank you for what you do for this community. ❤
I love procrastiplanner’s stickers. I’ll be using them for work. I was wondering if you’ve tried to use your ec daily binder inserts in your a5 binder, I’ve been trying to find a different binder option for my ec inserts.
While I applaud the fact that you want to do something to help make the world a better place in some way, singling people out because of their race is racist under the original definition of the term. Please don't "use your platform" to "amplify black authors." I know it's trendy right now, but that doesn't make it okay. It's racializing things in a gross and disgusting manner. Toni Morrison is a fantastic author - period. She's not "an amazing black author." Joy Luck Club is an excellent work of fiction; don't make it into Asian Fiction or some other nonsense. Octavia Butler is a great author because she captures the human experience and the nuances of hierarchies uniquely and compellingly. Her explorations of multi-ethnic and multi-species relationships stand the test of time because she's an excellent writer that can execute her themes in a timeless and universal manner that many would do well to emulate. Butler isn't a good writer because she's black or because she is a female in a male-dominated genre or because she was a pioneer in many regards. We know Butler is a good writer because of the merit of her work. Just let them be good writers and include them in your lists of good writers without the superficial skin-deep distinctions. It's the separation, and the qualifiers added to such things that keep systemic racism in place. Segregation was abolished for a reason, and returning to its precepts is regression. Right now, we need progress, and inclusion is a noble idea that we need more of, but it's not what you do, it's the way that you do it.
Your perception is common and I see where you are coming from. You are right that these authors should be seen as talented based upon their work and not just because of their race. However, we also know that much of the publishing industry (and especially some genres as you rightly point out) have been dominated by straight, white men. We also know that when an industry is dominated in such a way, it limits the voices and perspectives that it promotes. I don’t see Sarra’s amplification of black authors as racist or disgusting. In fact, as a middle class white woman, I have lately been searching out more stories from African-Americans, so I can better understand the history of this country from non-white eyes: the anger, the frustration, and the pain that is exploding right now cannot be understood fully from my limited perspective. I think when you say this amplification is “trendy” you demean and disregard some of us who are looking for more black authors to read, not because we are racist, but because we want to better understand and value other perspectives beyond our own. It is not a “superficial skin-deep distinction” if you acknowledge that the white experience is the dominant one in our country, and it might be good for us to listen to non-dominant voices for a while. Perhaps we can learn something. You are absolutely right that the authors you identify are great authors, period. But Toni Morrison’s and Amy Tan’s novels also teach us about the experiences of black and Asian-Americans that just could not be expressed as well if a white person tried to tell the same stories. It is the value of the things we can learn from those voices and stories, especially in this moment in time, that makes the amplification of black writers valuable right now. I hope you may try to see that for many of us it is a search for knowledge rather than the result of being racist or trendy or superficial.
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you enjoy the next few videos. Love to you all!
Very informative video! Which printer do you use and how do you get the photos lined in plastic. Have a great day!
@@katerinazamba663 I have an old HP office jet pro 8600. The photos are in a photo sleeve purchased from Webster's pages!
You've misspelled the digital Dashbox link :)
Hey Sarra, don't know if you intended to or not, but you showed Andrew's last name from the back of his photo.

Thank you for your support Sarra!🖤✨I will definitely email you.
with the printables , do you just print on normal computer paper and cut to size or what kind of paper do you use?
You can always cut the parts of the paper that have the stickers and recycle the rest.

You really 'all lives matter'-ed the hell out of that. I strongly suggest you do some research as to why this is a huge part of the existing problem.
