This last week's observation of the Derek Chauvin Trial in the Murder of George Floyd has thrown me for a loop. All the mental and emotional turmoil I was experiencing just after Goerge Floyd's murder has resurfaced and frankly I just don't have time for all that.
I'm so thankful that I've been able to rely on my community for support, validation and sanity through all this and my conversation with Kim Crowder this week was much needed. As a fellow DEI practitioner, it was great to air out my feelings and thoughts with someone who was also grappling with the implications that this trial is having on our country and society. We also talked about other high profile cases like this and the impact or in some cases non-impact that they may have on us.
All in all this conversation was healing and I hope it can be the same for you too.
