Zazie Beetz Reminds Followers That Black Lives Still Matter
Actress Zazie Beetz reminded her Instagram audience that the fight for racial justice does not end when the movement stops trending.
German-American actor Zazie Beetz, known for her roles in the television series Atlanta and the movie Deadpool 2, does not hesitate to share her beliefs on social media. Back in early June, she shared a heartfelt post mourning the death of George Floyd and speaking out against racism in the U.S.
While protests have not stopped since George Floyd’s death, conversations about police brutality and racial equality have quieted in some social media circles. Zazie Beetz wants to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Beetz’s most recent post proclaims that “Black lives still matter even if your feed is back to normal.” Beetz’s direct and somewhat ironic caption, “And that’s that on that,” leaves no room for argument.
Like many other artists, Zazie Beetz has also used social media to support fundraising events. On June 30, she used Instagram to promote a live reading that raised funds for Colin Kaepernick’s organization, Know Your Rights Camp.
In a way, Beetz’s posts have prevented her follower’s feeds from going “back to normal.” By continuing to distribute content about the Black Lives Matter movement, Zazie Beetz and other celebrities can keep up the energy and drive positive change.
