This week we learn from Opal Tometi (@opalayo), activist, advocate and co-founder of Black Lives Matter @blklivesmatter . As a child of two immigrant parents, Opal saw firsthand the ways in which racism and immigration policy intermingled to complicate her parents’ safety and stability living in the U.S. During her young adult years, her passion for immigration rights then gave way to an interest in the racial justice movement, spurred on by her work for such organizations as the Black Alliance for Just Immigration. Tune in to learn from one of the leaders behind Black Lives Matter, and how it all started. #linkinbio
