My heart aches over the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor.
Yesterday, I posted a black square.
To me, its representation will be to no purpose UNLESS moving forward I self-reflect, listen, and really educate myself on racism.
It's representation will be to no purpose UNLESS I really take action and show real support for the black community.
It's representation will be to no purpose UNLESS I reach out and say I hear you. I stand with you.
I will do more daily. It's necessary to be better.

"LOVE is not this sentimental something that we talk about. It is not merely a physical something. Love is creative understanding, good will for all people, refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love with its great beauty and power you seek only to defeat evil systems."
----- Martin Luther King Jr.
Supporting and providing ways to heal are ways of showing LOVE.
Please consider joining me in supporting The Loveland Foundation, which brings opportunity and healing to communities of color, and especially Black women and girls.
