On August 10, I received an email from the General Commission of Religion and Race that included this article that I thought would be helpful for all of us to read and reflect on- hope it is helpful to you as well. if it triggers any thoughts, let me know and I would love to have a conversation with you.
The last 2 years had been a challenge, to say the least, and even though I did take some time off during those years, because of the pandemic and other circumstances, it was always difficult to be gone on Sundays.
Years ago I made a statement which was completely misunderstood! I had gotten my hair cut short after a family wedding, so I said, “Wedding Over, Hair Cut!” I was completely shocked when I learned that someone had misunderstood that statement to say my ‘honeymoon’ period at Broadway was over and I was ready to get my way.
I do not know for a fact, but I think almost all persons of color at least once in their life have heard it said to someone or have been told themselves, by a well-meaning ally that ‘they don’t see color!”
I have to admit that until about 2 months ago I knew nothing about “All Living Things Environmental Film Festival- (ALTEFF) based in India. A friend introduced me to it and I was impressed by the work they are doing- so I decided we would host a film screening on July 14th at 11am.
