I love how you ended this with the positive. "Be a teacher. Be a student. Be a parent..." We can do those things and many times do, do those things without even thinking about it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Well done. - Amy
This is beautiful, Linda. I loved reading Kim Su-Young's poem! And it's so true of the challenges we face today. Also, the reminder of all the roles we play in life that can make a difference and impact change - teacher, mentor, parent, friend. Because racism is everywhere it is important that we listen and learn, that we engage in dialog (without screaming, name calling, or turning away). Time to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts, Amy. I think we forget that we each have our own platform to speak for justice in daily lives. =)

You are right, Shiley. Lots of room to learn and grow. Thanks for reading my letter and sharing your thoughts. xo
