What I have learned today after a good “cow bawl” is that racism hurts. I am tried I am broken and battered but I am still standing. I have no words I know it I felt it I have endured it Little Black children we shall over come You are all amazing
"If we've learned anything from the series of events this week, including the deaths of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, George Floyd and others, it's that anti-Black racism is lethal."
