This question doesn't just arrive in the sense that does my Black life matter — we all should know this to be unequivocally true by now — but how does my role as a journalist matter? Being a human confronted by and challenged on long-held beliefs we knew and didn't know we had is tough. What are the other side effects to me publicly calling out my feelings against white supremacy and racism on a large platform? I think this moment in America is really making us all hold up a mirror to see some ugly truths. That's the only way we have less tragic endings for the Breonna Taylors, Ahmaud Arberys and George Floyds of the world.
