I’ve been here—growing, evolving, watching, and learning. I’m in awe of the Black Community’s evolution over the last 8 years. I’m proud of the new choices I’m noticing.
I’m in the news again and I’d like to think aloud with you. In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers of what it means to be misunderstood, to be labeled, to be seen through someone else’s lens instead of your own truth. I talk about black joy, cancel culture, and the evolution of grace and freedom ideology years later. Do I need an apology? No. But there’s a lesson in all of this—one that’s bigger than me.
As it pertains to my personal journey, this is about peace. The kind that doesn’t need validation. The kind that doesn’t beg to be understood. The kind that just is. I pray my history book reads, “she sat still long enough to hear people’s hearts and lead with grace,”.
Let’s talk. What has changed over the last 8 years? Have you become more graceful with people you don’t agree with? Drop a comment and let’s start the conversation.
