This moral reckoning. A course correction. And there will be casualties, heartbreak and disappointment.

But what if holding one another accountable IS love?

What if we are actually clearing the way for bold and courageous leadership from the margins? What if this is exactly what is needed to heal and transform into the country that we all deserve?

Nayyirah Waheed reminds us that this is what it is to be human. And this is how we learn:

We have all hurt someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. We have all loved someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. It is an intrinsic human trait, and a deep responsibility, i think, to be an organ and a blade. But, learning to forgive ourselves and others because we have not chosen wisely is what makes us most human. We make horrible mistakes. It’s how we learn. We breathe love. It’s how we learn. And it is inevitable.

And so let us breath love. And let us trust one another in our vulnerability and humility as our future unfolds before us.
