“Wouldn’t it be great if folks everywhere were used to listening—really listening—to people who didn’t look like them? Instead of discounting a voice because it doesn’t come from a mouth and face that resembles theirs, what if they got used to valuing those voices? The only way people learn and change—I believe—is by practicing. So that means we need to give them more opportunities to practice listening. We need more voices like mine speaking to folks like Officer Strickland.” She
