We’ve rounded up Instagram pages that focus on helping us recover and recharge. These Instagrams are mostly by Black, and primarily for Black people. However, that doesn’t mean those who aren’t Black can’t grow and learn from these Instagrams. When anyone pays attention and listens to a group of people who have been systemically oppressed, like Black people, our entire society can become more inclusive and free. They are also great resources to share with your friends and family who need some support (don’t we all)!
