Healing Racism

Healing in the context of the racism inherent in our society has been on my mind this week and, truly, for many years. What is my place in this part of the journey? Where can I best serve?

My heart kept calling out to me to heal beneath my successes through forms such as anxiety, insomnia, and depression.
