Enough about owning our white privilege what are we going to DO about it?

I’m white and like almost every other white person out there talking or writing about their white privilege right now I have something to say. But what I have to say isn’t what so many others are saying. On May 26th, 2020 I, like most of the world, watched in horrified disbelief at a video …

How important are friends?

Friends represent the least clear-cut relationships in our lives; they don’t wear our wedding bands or share our DNA.
