I have been in so much pain the past week. In this I am not unique. I have experienced a myriad of emotions. I feel enraged, broken hearted, unseen, voiceless. Simultaneously I feel empowered, inspired and hopeful. So many emotions that are overwhelming.

I am 40 years old. I'm a black woman. I am a therapist. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a Christian. I am a friend. I am smart. I am strong. I am sensitive. I am a Cali girl. I am a New Yorker. I am extraordinary. I am basic.

I am Sandra. I am Ahmad. I am Eric. I am Trayvon. I am Breonna. I am George. I am Zoe.

I cannot and will not attempt to express all of my emotions here; I will not use my energy to reach for the impossible. I just want to use every platform I have to express my truth and THE truth. BLACK LIVES MATTER!!

Thank you to every single person who is fighting for justice. Thank you to every person who died for the plight over a long, racist history. Thank you for artistry that makes me feel seen. Thank you! Thank YOU! THANK YOU!

With so much love,
Julia
