I have deleted every Black Friday email and ignored every social media post from Amazon, Target, and Home Depot. I am honoring the boycott. If I buy anything, it's from a local, small, or minority-owned business. Let's all use our money to take back our power.

Never chase after those
Who are currently leading.
In five minutes, disappointed,
they will run back this way,
Not having moved,
you will be in the lead.
