Watching George Floyd die was the tipping point.
There was no hearsay, rumors or conjecture surrounding his death at the hands of the police. It was out there in the open, front and center, for the entire world to see another black man’s life snuffed out in the streets.
When will it all end? How many black people need to die before people realize enough is enough?
As a person of color, I can honestly admit all of it scares me. The fear of me possibly ending up in a similar situation goes through my mind each and every day. But along with that constant fear is also a hope for change.
There are a 1,000 different ways people can help make that change right now. It’s different for everybody and dependent on their own comfort and strengths. But the biggest one starts with you.
Real change starts from within.
