It’s hard to put into words all of my feels here lately. I felt it necessary to make an attempt. I’ve experienced racism in my lifetime firsthand, ironically, most of it was as a child. So, I’m conditioned (sad, but true). As an adult, I’ve turned a few heads as people talk to me and are surprised I can speak like that of an educated professional. Maybe because I am, but that’s neither here nor there. So, how do I “deal” with it? I don’t. It’s just the way of life for me because I learned early that my walk would look different. But what I’ve been through, doesn’t begin to compare to the experiences of others who look…just…like…me! The people who have been mistreated, chastised, beaten, and worse…those who have died because their mere existence was an instigator. My heart simply breaks. I urge you, make this movement a priority in your life. Just as much a priority as getting your hands on a swimming pool. Let’s not lose sight of the goal this time. And yep…Black Lives Matter! If all lives truly mattered, we wouldn’t be where we are. #NotAnotherLife #BlackLivesMatter
