Here at Bookable, we spend a lot of time thinking about software and how it can improve business. One of the things I love about software is that it’s incapable of a social construct. It doesn’t care who the end-user is, it works the same way for everybody unless told to do otherwise.

Any system, whether it’s a software, a social, or a justice system, works on parameters that determine outcomes. When a system consistently functions the same way, it is because of the parameters used to create such an outcome.  The recent death of Mr. George Floyd occurred because of a refusal to change or admit the existence of parameters that allow for social bias and racial injustice in the United States.  

Racism isn’t an American or British problem, it is a global problem. Bookable stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and the Black community.  Our team spends a lot of time educating others about how to run a small business, during this time, we will also be educating ourselves about how to better support the Black community and it’s small business owners. 

Be strong, be safe, be part of the change.
