I don't know how many white people realize how much this can affect black kids. When I grew up, the only black cartoon characters were in the background or played second fiddle. The creators of the cartoons made INTENTIONAL decisions to do that

Just FYI the former twice-impeached president bragged about sexual assault, muffled his own CDC in a pandemic (a move that led to 100s of thousands of deaths), and approved of a terrorist attack on our US capitol. If he's competitive in a straw poll the Dems are not the problem.

R we ok with protestors blocking hospitals? I am absolutely not. Protest at City hall, in a park, block a road.....I don't care...but for goodness sakes let the health provers do their job. There has to be some leadership to reduce the moral stress on health providers right now!

I wish people understood the “99% survival rate” they like to crow about includes people who will survive but have to endure something like having a leg amputated due to untreatable blood clots brought on by Covid. 😔

Fall 2021: The Anti-Racist OT Collective is an approach to continuing education that supports participants to
engage & reflect on issues that are often complicated and emotional. This approach builds upon community, support and becoming a more self-aware, socially just OT.
