See Beyond My Skin

Thank you Anam Owili-Eger for the words below. As we begin the celebration of Black History Month I hope we can all come together as a community to celebrate Black joy with music, art, food, and spoken word. The Gambian Griots traveled more than 3000 miles to play for you and artist put together an incredible show. I hope to see you.

It is important that we do not become numb to human suffering.
It is important that we do not become the thing we say we deplore.
It is important that we do not become oblivious or ignorant to history.

It is important that we ask ourselves how to truly move in Love, via Justice, toward Peace.
