In Support of Change
I chose not to run our Navigating Change podcast this week in support of all those who stand and fight for justice, equality, and peace, and an end to racially-motivated police violence in our country. I am left with sadness and anger after witnessing these brutal acts of violence and am committed to raising my own awareness of systemic racism in America.
