i love how youre using your plataform for good

[kaydens.]

You should do one on ableism or being an ally to disabled people. I'm disabled myself, and I don't see that issue covered very much, even in intersectional feminist conversations

I couldn't wait for the video to end to come check the mental comments.... surprisingly it's all positive!! Shane to win CBB18

[Merrymaidenart]

I LOVE YOU! I fell in love when I saw you on Rupaul and I love you all the more now. All these queens we watch say how they want a voice and to inspire people and here you are ACTUALLY using your voice! Also I hate CBB but I love you in it. It's nice to see a celeb with a brain and a bit of common human decency.

These series are good for thought. I look forward each week to a new FACT!

IM CRYING I DIDNT KNOW I COULD LOVE COURTNEY EVEN MORE BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG

[ttthecat]

I literally just discovered you while looking for some help with my makeup, and after looking through your videos, I feel so inspired and hopeful!🙆🏾‍♀️ You seem to be a genuinely kind soul trying to do good in this world, thank you.🤗

You really hit the nail on the head with this one, Courtney. So educated, respectful, and woke. Thank you for using your voice to promote the things that really matter.
P.S- We're all rooting for you on Big Brother!

The world needs more people like you Courtney/Shane 💙

wooow!! i love Cortney's video blog! so positive and encouraging!

[itnama]

Thank you Courtney! I feel this could be insightful for everyone of every gender, race or creed. I'm coloured and a woman but I realised I also sometimes unconsciously act out the behaviours you mentioned. It good to get a reminder and try to proactively reflect on our day to day behaviours. :)

This is such a great video; Courtney, you're so eloquent and really using your platform for good! There's a problem though: few mistakes in the subtitles. Love you, hope ya win CBB x

[Mllelele]

could you make an episode about veganism ?
ps.: love u <3 <3

[FloraWest]

This is really clear and concise and a great place to start.  Thanks for doing this.

[mybubbles]

This is a tough topic to discuss without a lot of hatred being flung. I'm glad we're talking about this though. It needs to be said and truly heard ♥️

[wazza]

Crying. Look at the difference just one ozzy is making in the world by breaking down so many social barriers in one go. KILLING IT SHANE!! <3<3<3 #justicewarrior

[Novjuly]

At firstbI thought this was going to be about how to be an ally to drag race girls lol

[WoodlandT]

You inspire that shit out of me mama. LOVE U

This is really well done, but i would add, don't expect POCs to owe you an explanation. Sure, you're trying to do your best as an ally, and understand what they've gone through. Sure, you recognise that no matter how much you educate yourself, that will never trump their lived experience. But for many POCs in Westernised nations, they have to justify every minutiae of their existence to someone everyday. So if they're simply too tired to explain it to you, even when you have the best of intentions, that's valid.

In those situations, even though you're trying to start a dialogue and learn, turn to the internet or someone else. There's a bevy of resources and conversations which you can tap into, without trying to throw your status as an ally around as if it means you're entitled to special treatment.
