Listen to this episode: RACISM IN AMERICA
With the death of George Floyd and many others before him, there has been an awakening of sorts.
For some, the conversations of race and racism are continuing, for others, they are just beginning. And yes, there is a small group where the conversation isn't even acknowledged. Last week, Tami McQueen and I got together to decompress and have a raw, thorough conversation about this topic. Both of us are minorities in our own right and it was still important for us to have that conversation, even with each other. Racism in America is not a new thing, but right now, it is the thing.
One of the things I'm most proud of about this episode is that it has opened up many dialogues with people. Many have heard (or seen, if they watched it on YouTube), the way I expressed the hurt and pain in my community. Also, bridges have been built and understanding has been met with love and compassion. The call is not to necessarily go out and protest, but to come to the table to listen, learn, and be ready to work.
Listen to this episode above and let's keep the conversation going... or in some cases, let's start it! #BlackLivesMatter
