Daunte Wright was fatally shot by a police officer in Minneapolis - just miles away from where George Floyd was murdered by police almost a year ago. This week there will be no podcast episodes or weekly circles. I will be taking this time to further educate myself and free up space for black voices. I encourage you all to take the time you would have spent listening to a podcast interview on Empowered Spirituality and listen or consume some content listed below.
