🌟 Motivation Monday 🌟
Let me tell you a little secret: I was raised to be a racist. Yep, you read that right. My grandmother's stories about Mississippi shaped my worldview, but life had other plans for me. Fast forward to college, where my roommate—a white preacher’s daughter from Iowa—shattered every stereotype I had. Spoiler alert: We became great friends.
Ironically, the harshest racism I’ve faced came from my own people. Yep, THAT part. We don’t talk about it enough, but we should. My journey taught me one big truth: People are just people. Good ones, bad ones, and everything in between.
When I read *The People of the Lie* by M. Scott Peck, it hit me: Healing human evil starts with love, and that love begins with YOU. 💛
