Hi Friends - The world has really been such a bummer lately. And as much as I love critiquing and pointing out more inconsistencies and inequities in the world, I just feel like collectively we don't need that right now. Or maybe I just don't need that right now. All of the posts I have in the works cover some pretty big topics - whiteness as property, cultural appropriation - anti-blackness edition, antisemitism, addressing the bias of DEI...none of these are light topics. I've been trying to think of a way to give you something to read that also might be enjoyable. Last week, I realized that even though I mostly deal with heavy topics that make me question the very essence of humanity, I've also become a lot more hopeful and optimistic these last couple of years. I've had the opportunity to read, listen, learn, and be in community with some truly amazing people over the past couple of years. Meeting people who really care deeply about this world has restored a little bit of my faith in humanity. It has restored in me a desire to treat others with a little more grace each and every day.
