Noticing My HeartAche
Moments when my heart hurts or feels tension I'm frequently noticing the ache my heart is feeling as I navigate this moment in life. I use moment in a stretched sense. Not a polaroid moment, but a stream of experiences that encapsulate a sense of now, this time, this...
What does it look like for a nation to grieve together?
This question was offered to me by Valarie Kaur in her book See No Stranger: A memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love. I'm reflecting on this question often, as we explore reparations and how to repair the damage done historically and present day, as we call for...
