After the death of George Floyd and countless others in our black communities and specifically when the protests started happening in 2020, I had a vision of tears falling on a human heart. They were tears of pain, but those tears started healing the heart and goodness and change sprouted from it. Henry Cloud said there is a reason God put our tear ducts in our eyes because when you cry someone should see your pain. Our black brothers and sisters have been bearing painful tears for FAR TOO LONG and sadly many of us have ignored it because our white privilege told us it wasn’t our problem or maybe we’re just now seeing things clearly and realizing the reality of the racial injustice in our country. We can no longer be blind to what has been happening in our country for centuries and need to start taking action to do something about it.

In order to bring real change to racial injustice, police brutality and systemic oppression of our black communities we need to start with a deep dive into our hearts, because that’s where real change begins.
I myself was blind to pieces of racism buried in me, but I’m committed to the ongoing hard work of healing and changing my heart, educating myself, starting uncomfortable conversations with those around me and no longer staying silent.

I've brought a t-shirt design to life that's inspired by my vision and it can be purchased in a fundraiser to help raise money for The Conscious Kid's Anti-Racist Children’s Book Education fund, it’s also a great way to spread the message that Black Lives Matter!
