I'm Busy Being Awesome

Education


Over the past six days, I’ve watched so much pain, hurt, anger, and grief unfold throughout our country as we mourn the wrongful death of George Floyd. And as I’ve worked through my own feelings of anger and sadness, I’ve also thought about what I can do. I've researched how I can be a strong ally to people of color and other marginalized groups. I've thought about how I can best provide support. And while doing this research, I also started deepening my historical knowledge. I learned more about the oppression and the systemic racism that gets overlooked in our textbooks, yet has permeated our country for centuries. And though I have much to learn, I wanted to take some time on the podcast to share the resources I’m studying and the takeaways I’ve gleaned.  Because what's happening right now in America, and what's been happening in America from the very beginning, cannot continue.  This can't be our reality anymore. And I hope you will join me in doing everything you can to help make the change.
