I was tired of listening to stories of racial abuse and dismissal from Black and Brown people in my social circles, so, I called some of them together in my front room and said, \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffThe time is now. We are on a precipice of a positive, beautiful elevation never experienced in our lifetime. Let&#8217;s get it!
