There are some really great teachers and authors out there that educate beautifully, lovingly, and fiercely on Black Lives Matter.
It’s up to us to catch up and to dismantle systemic racism. Prosperity is not a zero sum game.

Let’s stop defending ourselves, stop judging derivative crimes, check our predispositions, and start seeing how we can make change.
