reclaimthebindi:

Reclaim the Bindi Week is BACK and I hope everyone is ready to post until #bindi is flooded with South Asian pride!  If you are new to #reclaimthebindi, this is a campaign to help anyone with South Asian heritage reclaim our culture by overrunning social media with ourselves embracing it.

What is our goal?

To reclaim our culture from appropriators by flooding the bindi tag with selfies, pictures, anecdotes, stories, art, ANYTHING reclaiming the bindi and/or our culture. 

When is this happening?

August 2nd - August 8th, 2015 (please feel free to post all your Eid photos!)

What should you do?

Now:

• Reblog this post to spread the word
  

From August 2nd-8th:

• Post selfies with you wearing a bindi, art, stories, ANYTHING reclaiming our culture with the tags #bindi and #reclaimthebindi so that we all can see them (please make sure you tag your posts with at least #bindi otherwise they won’t show up in the tag)
• Follow the reclaimthebindi blog
• You can post on INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER NOW! Use the same hashtags and follow the movement @reclaimthebindi!
• Submit your selfies and other posts to the reclaimthebindi blog so even more people can see them

And that’s it - so let’s get to reclaiming what is rightfully ours!
