My offering at this time: the voice, the spirit, the truth of my spiritual uncle and our ancestor, James Baldwin. • I’ve spent the last two days in conversation and community with folks in Minneapolis, New York and Tennessee. Talking about what we can do with our proximity to power. Aligning on right action in the face of chaos and injustice...and exhaustion. I am committed to the work not knowing the outcome. I fearfully and tearfully embrace my privilege as a biracial Black woman and, while I will find time for rest and recovery, I won’t stop building bridges, won’t stop creating safe spaces and economic opportunity for the emerging, the overlooked, the undermined and the marginalized, I won’t stop “waking the children sleeping.” • “The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.” - James Baldwin • 🙏🏾 to the allies and accomplices @kmilesaway @rupaparekh @tiffany_hardin @jason__rosario @joelakamag @floetry9 @myrasu @rustylazer @jonathanjayasinghe @xandertran @aartithiagarajan @jasminevazquez1 • • • #rememberiloveyou #georgefloyd #tonymcdade #breonnataylor #ahmaudarbery #seanreed #jamesbaldwin
