In this special episode, I address Black America, our grief, racial trauma and reclaiming our future. Inspired by the recent incidents of police brutality, Black America has been living in grief and sometimes fear while maintaining our normal lives. Our endless experiences with discrimination, police brutality, prejudices, and microaggressions for centuries, has been something Black Americans experienced throughout generations. Now, with protestors and destroyed property, we are coming to an end of a toxic relationship.

Reclaiming our future involves gaining economic power and exercising our votes on a local level. These are just two of many gestures we can make to create self-sufficiency and move to a brighter future. I also explain things we can do today to make that change:

Like any skill, we have to develop, utilize, and strengthen it each day.
