“Witnessing the news the past few weeks & hearing the outcry has given me a lot to think about,” he wrote when George Floyd protests began around the world. “It is time for everyone, from all walks of life, to get comfortable with voicing & calling out the uncomfortable subject of Blatant Racism that exists heavily within our society. We are ALL accountable & we shouldn’t have to revisit tragedies like George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery time & time again. 6 years ago I put on this tee shirt to show solidarity & we’re still fighting. Enough is enough.”
Also reposting Nike’s #BlackLivesMatter message of solidarity, Ben added “No more excuses. Don’t turn your back on racism ✊🏿✊🏾.”
Today, Ben turns 24 years old. Join us in showing him some major love!
