Eye-opener for my kids today as we walked the streets of New York after yesterday’s riots. The remnants of what was left of a burning police car and shattered glass from broken windows was a scary sight to see. I’m well aware as to why this has happened but I’m praying for more peaceful protests in the future without the violence. Our hearts are hurting for the death of George Floyd but we should act rational and quell our behavior with peace.
These experiences are teaching my two youngest kids to be more braver and stronger and to use their voice in defending not only their black friends, but their heritage as well. My kids are mixed and come from various background lineages. Time to time people will ask them what nationality they are and for the most part they are complemented for who they are.
