A teacher overheard a black student say “if I grow up”.

Let that sink in.

A child should have zero limits on where their imagination for the future leads them and the society around them should have no barriers to those beautiful dreams becoming reality. Yet, here we are.
Children catch it.

They see us. They hear us.

As images of a human life being taken away have spread around the world, we’ve had to arrive face to face with hideous evil. It is not new and that’s one of the ugliest truths.
There is so much that must change.
I must change. My family. My community. Industries. Systems.

A daily commitment to listening and seeing.

Standing and supporting.

Never being okay with a young heart questioning if they belong at the table or are allowed to even exist.
You belong, you belong, you belong.
It is the world that is currently very wrong. YOU belong. We so need your song.
We will listen. We will speak.
We will celebrate. We will see.
The secret to making any room great is refusing to ever allow for hate.

Not if. When.
