Our world is hurting right now. The Coronovirus Covid-19 pandemic has shifted and wrecked many of our lives. On top of this ongoing issue, there is another conversation that we need to focus on and that is the #blacklivesmatter movement. This more than ever is where we need to stand united, but police brutality continues to exist along with racism. I see friends and family members on facebook talking about how these protests and riots are not the answer. While I do agree that violence is never the answer, we need to understand that our African-American neighbors are hurting. Even if we do not share the same skin, we need to seek to understand. We need to let our black communities know that we are here and ready to stand with them and fight for them. Empathy is what we need right now.
