Something horrible happened to us, and just like the rest of the world, I expected us all to be strong and just move on. I was wrong. We need to stop normalizing Black trauma and start normalizing self-care. We need to give ourselves the time to heal, time to reclaim our joy... Black joy. And that is why I am hereby canceling all classes, practices, and games scheduled for tomorrow. I'm giving you a free day, a mental health day, with resources provided. Tomorrow at Bringston University will officially be Free Black Joy Day.

You’re all clear, kid! Now let’s blow this thing and go home!

It's love that lifts us out of the dark. So when people put their lies on you, attack you, try to take you out, remember to let the love from those around you carry you through. Because the truth is, ignorance and hate hold hands. They try to blind you, smother us. They try to destroy the light of hope, but our love can consume the darkness and drive out the hate. And, yeah, that love might not change everyone. You might still run into conscious and unconscious bias, microaggressions, outright racism, hate, but it's in those moments we got to hold on to those that shine their light on us. We got to hold on to those that give us life and love to the fullest. Because it's that love that binds us as a people, as a community. It's what helps us come back stronger and better than ever.
