A Certain Concern Posted at 1:05 PM (PDT) on Thursday, June 4, 2020
View this post on Instagram Hi guys, how are you? I hope you�re all holding up out there. I wanted to talk to you about something. It was brought to my attention that a couple of weeks ago a concerned fan was worried the @redbubble #GALips blue fundraising facemask could have connotations of blackface or be considered minstrelsy. It�s so important we listen to and act on any concern like this, even if it's just from a single person. Fortunately only fifteen or so of the original blue masks were sold before we redesigned the mask to be a brighter blue, so that nothing could be misinterpreted. And in light of current events, we have decided that the funds will now be benefitting South African Youth Education for Sustainability - @sayes.mentoring. I apologise profusely if even one person was offended by the blue mask and thank you so much to everyone who has purchased all the colours, and t-shirts. Your enthusiasm has been amazing and I love seeing all your pictures. xx G A post shared by Gillian Anderson (@gilliana) on Jun 4, 2020 at 6:09am PDT
