“When we are filled with love for other people, injustice becomes intolerable.”
–Austin Channing Brown
Breonna deserved better. Black women deserve better.
Keep showing up. Keep being a loud persistent voice against racism and injustice. Be strategic. Be bold.
And feel it all.
Sometimes it feels like the world is descending into deeper division, other times I remember that it’s actually a division that’s been here for ages becoming more visible. And walking through that world calls for thick skin and a soft heart.
That takes grief. We grieve things because they have value. And when systems act like Black lives don’t matter, grief says the opposite.
Injustice and indifference go hand in hand. Don’t let them crush your convictions.
