I’m sure you’ve seen it all over social media. I’m sure your feeds are full of little black squares and #blackouttuesday. I’m sure riots and protests are all over your news stations.

I grew up in a school with very little diversity. I didn’t experience racism first hand until college and I didn’t understand. I still don’t understand and I never truly will. But I can listen, I can pray, and I can educate myself.

I don’t have words to explain the heartbreak I am feeling right now. I can’t find the proper words but I at least wanted to say that I am listening. I see you, I hear you.

Please take this time to educate yourselves.
