I have been feeling at a loss for words in this moment in history. I attempt to write here to share my views on living a great life.
But right now it is clear that I have privilege to live a great life each and every day that many people, those of color in our country, do not have.
Today I will take a pause in terms of this blog.
This week, I will take a week to listen and learn and to better understand what is happening right now (and beyond, but starting now with this week). I stand in support of the #amplifymelanatedvoices movement which urges white voices to help amplify voices of color instead of our own.
If you are or know a person of color with their own business who would like to be featured here or in my newsletter, please let me know.
Below are two resource lists from which I will be choosing books to begin reading.
An Antiracist Reading List by Ibram X. Kendi
An article about becoming a Black Lives Matter Ally
