I am sure by now the horrors of the deeply rooted racism that has permeated our world has been on display for everyone and frankly it has been emotionally and physically draining but now is not the time to give up. As frustrating as it has been to constantly get messages from non-black folks about what to do, I don't want any room for excuses.So for the month of June, we will get real, raw, honest and uncomfortable about our biases.
