This past week was a rude awakening and to be honest an embarrassment to how little awareness I have of the deep rooted racial injustices that have been and are still perpetrated in the US, where I reside.
Having been raised bi-culturally by open-minded liberal parents does not exempt me from ignorance. I realize I have a lot to learn, as I listen to stories and scholars to be able to do better by you, by me and all the children who deserve better from us. We must work together in creating a world where the treatment of people is never based on bias, whether it be the color of our skin, our sexual identity, our spiritual identity,our mental or physical differences.
I hope and encourage you to join me in doing this important work of listening, learning and doing better together.
Once you listen if you have any questions come ask them in my FB podcast group.
What we Talked About
