1. Intersection of Racial Injustice and Pandemic: We have been deeply impacted, for months as people and citizens, by the shared experience of the Pandemic. Last night, in an ATD interview, I was asked about the intersection of the important Racial Injustice national reaction and the the Coronavirus Pandemic.
I believe that we have had hearts and awareness heightened during our months working from home in a time of ambiguity. Yet another tragic murder was experienced deeper and differently at this moment. There are more corporate leaders stopping and addressing racial injustice. Our minds and souls have been opened, hopefully differently, to address a long history of the racial inequities and injustice in our country. Consider how you, your colleagues and neighbors may have evolved by the combination of the pandemic and the killing of George Floyd.
