Towards change.

Your story blessed me, Toni. Thank you for trusting us. I’m sorry you have been carrying this for so long; know you’re not alone.

As I reflect on your story, I know that I perform a lot of defensive maneuvers because I expect that I will be questioned, made to justify my presence or because I expect that I will be challenged

I check and double-check my badges and identification. I check and double-check my seat numbers.

It's the baggage of race we carry.
