Thanks Frank.... Funny thing is when I finished this article and went through it one more time, I thought to myself.. " Great stream of consciousness" and here we are now. hahahaha... Writing on medium has really toned down and polished my writing... God am grateful I dropped most of my absolutism lol. knowing that I'm not alone on this journey is very reassuring. I admire the way you write so passionately about sensitive issues like race without being apologetic about it.. I still struggle with many of my sensitive articles which has led me to accumulate several drafts.. But am glad that those which end up getting published are meaningful to you and a lot of people that read them. Thank you for showing up and supporting me when this begins to feel like am writing for space dust or something.
