Support to Black Lives Matter

Soko Glam announced via Instagram that they would be donating to support Black Lives. “As a company and as individuals, we are guided by helping all people and doing what is RIGHT,” the post read. “Given the recent and ongoing racial brutality and social injustice against the black community, we cannot stay silent. We stand with the black community today and always.” Soko Glam said it will be donating to Black Lives Matter and provided a list of sites and resources for its 359,000 followers to educate themselves and support similar organizations.[2]

On the founder personal Instagram account (@chalottejcho), Charlotte also vocal about issues such as healthcare, gun control, voting, racism and other topics that I believe is important to make a stand on.[3]
