I decided to take over the mic this episode because I’m exhausted by White people giving lip service to ally-ship. I have the great pleasure of having deep conversations with White people who are willing to be uncomfortable. Therefore, participating in the healing of our world.

The place where we do business with each other and demonstrate care for each other. White America will learn much from taking the time to listen in. I hope for Black Americans you will find a little bit of home by listening in and realizing that we are all going through the same thing together. We support you.
