George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
So thankful this year has taught me to put myself and my own happiness first. Hereโs to a month of being out of the most toxic relationship Iโve ever been in and finding myself again. 2020 is gonna be MY year.
