How To Hold Space

Before I get into the heart of this week’s post, there are a couple of PSAs that I have to share:

1. I love choreographed dancing social posts. They are my little pick me up when I need a break during the day. But ever since I saw Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult on Netflix, I don’t look at those videos with the same joy. Instead, I’m worried for the safety of all those young dancers. Why do horrible people have to ruin everything? Please talk with your pre-teen, teen, and young adult- TikTok lovers. Show them this doc. It’s all fun and games until you find yourself in a cult.

2. Juneteenth is coming, and in true, American fashion, they have turned a holiday meant to celebration liberation into a grab for cash. Black people aren’t interested in your Juneteenth paper plates, “soul food” meals in the lunch room at work, or awkward Presidential concerts. We want equity, reparations, and an acknowledgment of the truth of our racist history. Please and thank you.
