Interview/Talk

(My) racial awakenings, visions of recompense, and an invitation to the skeptical

In this video, I discuss George Floyd’s recent death at the hands of police and the awakening it created for me. I discuss the difference between awakened understanding and mental comprehension; the fact that while we can strive for awareness, we cannot control awakening; and the kinds of leadership I envision we will need to usher us through this time. I am not that leader. Finally, I offer some invitations to those skeptical of the narratives that draw me and many others to form solidarity around these issues.
