I am a man / I am Human / I am Black / I am Here / I am You / I am Love / I am Beautiful / I am a son / I am a Father / I am a Brother / I am a Friend / I am a Neighbor ....... I am #GeorgeFloyd #ChrisCooper #EricGarner #AbnerLouima #RodneyKing #JamesByrdJR #AmadouDiallo #PhilandoCastile #centralPark5 #TrayvonMartin #EmmettTill #TamirRice #LaquanMcdonald #BreaionKing and so so so so many more.... Past week has been very intense and deeply deeply saddened with all going on - the overwhelming collective global suffering brought on by #Covid19 w/ over 100,000 DEAD in the US and counting, deep anxieties around reopening my store and then the nail on the coffin with 2 deaths of black men plus the Central Park encounter... I completely lost it emotionally. Special thanks to all raising up and speaking out, reaching out, opening up room for dialogue and donating to causes that promote equality opportunity and justice... all matters. Also on a personal level massive thanks to all that have reached out - thank you and love u all so dearly. Folks this is bigger than #Trump or just #PoliceBrutality #Right or #Left or collectively we have a long long hard road ahead we have to face the mirror and call out all we really don’t want to face - #racism #inequality #criminaljusticesystem #poverty #militarism #imperialism unchecked #capitalism shameful #healthcare system extremely high cost of #Education etc then heal collectively and inject the necessary humanity nourishments back into our beloved country - Cornell West interview posted here gave a good snapshot on this issue. longer version on IGTV must watch. #staywoke Speak TRUTH but ALWAYS wrapped in LOVE (at West End) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-J7qkA_tt/?igshid=8lo1awj6k0b6
