MIAMI — Romi Chase has announced that as part of a personal initiative to support #BlackLivesMatter, she will offer “affiliated black-owned businesses” free advertising space on her social platforms.
This is Chase’s statement regarding this initiative:
My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by the recent tragic incident involving the Minneapolis police murdering an African-American man, George Floyd. I cannot possibly relate to how his family and friends feel. I can’t relate to any of the issues the black community has to face on a daily basis living in this country.
However, I want to emphasize that I stand with black people in these hard times, and wanted to take some time and thought about it for a few days to try to process the events since I’m a new immigrant to the States myself, and I don’t necessarily understand everything that’s going on and the issues the U.S. is dealing with.
Instead of posting memes and quotes on my social media, I want to do something that matters, something that will actually help the black community, by offering 10 free advertising slots for black-owned businesses on my social media platforms. This is a great way to utilize my huge following on my two Instagram accounts (550,000 and 108,000) to help the black community and show my support.
