I was taught that blacks were brought to this country 400 years ago to be slaves. When I consider our country’s history, it’s through the lens and voice of whites. ‘They were slaves...’. All the uplifting points about freedom and liberty, it’s white freedom and liberty. Our white forefathers built a government around freedom for whites. A justice system built around protecting (stolen) white owned land and structure, not black lives. Black people were never meant to thrive in this country. That would require a foundation in equality. I advocate for animals, for equal pay for women, for LGBTQ rights. But I have not done nearly enough to demand equality for the black community. As a white person with ridiculous privilege, it’s my responsibility to speak up, take action, and fight for the rights of those who do not have the same opportunities I have. It’s my responsibility to tear down the systems built to discourage equality and build new systems that give blacks privilege to succeed and be safe. I vow to do much better. I vow to do much more.

I want him to grow old, and stay here with me. 🖤 #ilovehim #americanbully #amstaff #englishbulldog #americanpitbullterrier #pitbullsofinstagram #loveliveson❤️ #neuronalceroidlipofuscinosis

We are pandemicing on the patio now that it’s finally warmer! This is Doug’s happy place. Hope you all are finding some joy this week! xoxo #americanbully #amstaff #englishbulldog #americanpitbullterrier #loveliveson❤️ #ilovehim #neuronalceroidlipofuscinosis #ncl

Happy Mother’s Day! To the moms of kids and pets. To the moms to be and the moms who are desperately trying. To the moms who have lost a child. To the dads who are also moms and the men that mom. To those who nurture when there isn’t a mom. To the God-moms, the stepmoms, the foster moms. To the moms that raised the incredible people in my life. To my mom, my sisters and my mom friends. There is no love like mom love. And to my boys, it is my joyful purpose in life to love you. ❤️#loveliveson❤️

New post on the blog! Link in profile or go to www.ohmelvin.com. I seem to post as often as we have a pandemic. 😂 #loveliveson❤️

Happy 34th Monday in a row. #americanbully #amstaff #englishbulldog #americanpitbullterrier #ilovehim #loveliveson❤️ #neuronalceroidlipofuscinosis #ncl #covi̇d19

I said goodbye to Melvin, five years ago. Losing him was so hard. The suddenness of his cancer, the short time we had after he was diagnosed. Saying goodbye. All of it, broke all of me. I remember wondering how I would go five minutes without him. Five years felt like an impossible lifetime back then. But each day I woke up, and figured out new ways to keep him close. And the sharp daggers of grief, softened. I paid his love forward, the way I promised him I would, and every act of kindness done in his name, brought him closer to me than I ever would have imagined. Without Melvin, I wouldn’t be who I am. He changed the direction of my life. He made me believe in rescue, he made me believe I could care for the specially abled. #loveliveson❤️ was born from Melvin joy. So to my Melvin man, I love you more today than ever. You are the OG of my heart. xoxo

We are living our very best quarantine life, and I’m still so grateful for this extra time with Doug while he’s still doing so well. We hope you all are having a good week! xoxo ❤️ #americanbully #amstaff #englishbulldog #americanpitbullterrier #ilovehim #loveliveson❤️ #neuronalceroidlipofuscinosis #ncl
