BosqueMama | Chynna :

I try very hard to always speak up when I see racism and injustice, but what I appreciate about this video is it pointed out the quiet ways that my privilege exists even when I don't recognize it. I appreciate you and your content.

Christina Puckett :

I’m listening. And I appreciate the perspective. My mouth is closed and my ears and mind are open.

ShelfCareMom :

Your videos are always hard to watch because they always reveal something my friends and I need to work on and be aware of. I know it is exhausting to continue to be our teacher, but I appreciate what you do. You always give me something to consider and reflect on within myself. I will never skip one of your videos. I hope others are listening as well.

zipfields :

I keep trying…learning and trying….and listening. I’m grateful that your willing to teach. 🙏🏻

Confession- I don’t know what to do differently. I hear you, but not sure what it means for me. Give me a specific thing to do or say to others.

Terko 💙 :

For the sake of a long comment to help the algorithm: I turned 18 only a couple weeks before the 2008 election. I voted for Obama and have voted Democrat ever since. 💙💙 Thank you for posting this!!

Karla 💙 :

Listening and Learning 💙 Thank you for educating.

roxy.scot :

I worry about being part of that demographic. I'm hopeful that because I can recognize it in myself, I can be more thoughtful in the choices I make. As always, thank you for being such a wonderful teacher.

This is one of the most important videos I have ever seen. I appreciate you pointing this out. I want to learn more, do more, be more.

Ashley, I appreciate your content more than you know. I don’t call myself an ally. I just do what I can to be anti-racist. I’m not perfect, but I’m doing everything I can to work on it. I tell my black friends to call me out when they notice me falling back. I’m trying. Thank you for all you do. 💚

Kim Liv :

This makes me sad. Thank you for educating me.

Phoenyx :

Thank you for this call out. I will keep showing up, continue learning, and strive not to just be an ally, but to be an accomplice.

Veronica Kinard :

This is such an incredibly important video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

MARGARET :

I thank you for, all you are teaching us

Brittany McCollum :

I will continue to learn and listen. Thank you.💙

OneNerdyMama :

True allyship means listening to others that may have walked a different path than you, and supporting them in the ways THEY need you to support them. From what I’ve gathered over my years, it means REALLY showing up for others, being willing to do the HARD work, having meaningful and genuine conversations with others, and educating ourselves about the real history of their experiences. 💙

Sarex Siikeward🆘🇺🇸 :

Relearning history is one of the most important things we should do. The real history. From the voices they never wanted us to hear. Thank you for teaching it. I always find myself diving deeper on the topics you speak about and the people. It also has me self reflecting, unlearning, relearning. Even on topics I’ve gone down before, I’ll revisit after your videos. 💛

Ky :

Thank you for taking the time to educate us 🙏🙏 I will always be listening & looking inward to make sure I’m showing up effectively & powerfully ✌️💛

🧡ItsMeBrandy_TeamO.N.E🧡 :

I love you Ashley! Never stop all the work you put in. I see you, I hear you. 🤗

Elaine 🇮🇪 :

As an Irish person, I don't know much about American black history. This is why I continue to follow and learn. We were taught some history about America and salvary but it was limited.
