The story of Frank Wills often comes to mind when I think of one being that shifted his-tory and how it often creates even more sense of the alone.

Thank you for reading Jacquie! I have been trying to diversify my writing so that it wouldn't all just be heavy stuff, but Saturday was the 10-year anniversary of Michael Brown's death and I couldn't in good conscious say nothing.

I’m glad you did! I understand you cautious with the heavy stuff but that’s how we invoke change so I’m glad you still lean into it when it’s a good time to!

Western and European countries dropped the ball when it comes to upholding moral standards years ago so I too no longer hold my breath. I think as people of colour need to focus on ourselves and what can we do to support our communities. Forget the mainstream society, most people are out for themselves.

We can't forget people or each other friend. The revolution will not be televised, it will be found in each other.
