I'm sad to hear that this has been something you have to grapple with in trying to find your own peace in spacious land.

The one sliver of hope I'm holding onto is knowing how many former conservatives are checking their shit and shifting their POV. An old friend from HS and Republican has been calling out friends and family and publicly shares that he will be voting all Dem due to his empathy and not wanting to support hate. I share in hopes that some other narratives around these white men who have other sides to show.

I am so disappointed that our country keeps revealing it's darkest sides and hope we can keep moving towards what we know is right and just and human.

You are a beautiful soul I am so lucky to know.

Wishing you calm, grounded and loving energy for you.

Thank you for writing and sharing this call to action. It is a terrifying time to be alive as a woman of color, and a mother. Sharing my empathy to you for experiencing microaggressions on the daily and fearing for your safety. This is no way to live. I hope you are feeling safe and held in the coming days by people you love and trust. Where is the Love has been streaming through my mind these days. To vote is to use your voice, and in these precarious times this is our most powerful tool. <3
