You deserve...
You deserve to take up space. I wish someone would have told me this a long time ago. With the current climate, it is safe to say that I am past tired and have dived headfirst into exhaustion. Right now, it is very hard to be black. I don't want to make it about race, but given the circumstances and what several people are fighting for, I'm here to say this- it is about race. For weeks, I have been limiting my time on social media and refraining from posting about George Floyd's murder and the protests that have followed. As a teacher, we are held to a higher standard than most people. One photo or post shared and sent to the right person and you can wind up jobless and possibly losing your teaching certificate. So, even now, as I type, I am choosing my words carefully. I'm not here to tell you how you should feel. I want to share my truth. I fell in love with music because it was something that made me happy and I was good at it. I fell in love with teachi
