We Need Each Other

Today I am asking three White people, who I know care about the injustice in the Black community and the system of racism, to collaborate and come up with some direction, some action, to bring about the deconstruction of this system. All of us in this episode, "Dear White People" are aware that the first step is through the heart.

Dr. Roxana Acosta is currently a medical intern at Centro Medico de Especialidades in Ciudad Juarez, She speaks of the devastation of being on the frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic. "We were told that if we wore face masks, we would create panic and chaos. We were kept in the dark about a lot of the suspect and/or positive cases.

UPDATE: Dr. Acosta returned to her hospital on June 1st. In her words, “The exact number of cases is still a bit tricky. Because unless we have the test results we sometimes just have suspect cases. But at least they are being a little better about keeping us away from the suspect or positive cases.”


“We get one face mask every three days, that’s all they give us, but we are allowed to wear our own if we have it (goggles, face shields, face masks, etc ). “

I was curious about how the children are doing in the midst of the pandemic. 9-year-old Joey Harrison assures me that The Kids Are Alright!

There is a perfect balance to the world just the way it is when we can allow ourselves to look through the eyes of another person. When we can see another’s perspective it brings much greater understanding. It softens the heart and the emotions it takes that bite off of things that we simply do not understand.

This is the maiden voyage of my podcast, "We Need Each Other". I am very very excited to begin this journey together with you as we look into the ways in which we can have a deeper appreciation for people, situations, and things that are different from us.
