Dallas, Houston, Buffalo, Irvine, Uvalde - Racial Violence
I woke up deeply saddened this morning. I found myself grieving my own lack of awareness of how destructive white systems both personally and professionally can be. We are witnessing these violent acts one after another as society implodes around racism, white supremacy and the violence that is enacted in our communities. Lord have mercy.

Show Notes
In an ongoing season littered-literally - with bodies of color, lets disrupt norms, love one another well - advocate for one another, let’s urgently pursue collective identity work for white bodies that can run in the same direction as the folks of color. Let us be active participants in healing collective trauma. Let us not further perpetuate the dominant cultural norms that I believe many conservative power brokers would curse on us and our society.
Please - I ask you to consider how both addressing white supremacy and equity work need to start with the truth telling. Let us -- as a nation -- tell a more true story to ourselves about where we are, what we are for, and where we are going.

Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.
