Dear girls,
Our reality as Black people is that we must constantly remember what to do if we are ever pulled over by the police.
I repeat the reminders over and over again to your uncle and will do so daily for the rest of my life if I have to.
Typically, I am fearless. However, the thought of someone hunting, hurting and/or killing my loved ones and friends brings me to my knees. The anger, sorrow and pain that I feel are indescribable.
I am sharing this information with you to educate you – not to scare you. It makes me sad that Black people need to have these conversations with their loved ones. White people do not have to engage in these types of discussions with their White loved ones.
I love you for life.
Your Auntie
