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.

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