A Year Later

It's been a year, and I'm still not sure how to responsibly write about Inauguration Day, or the Women's March, or even the whole last year. I've tried, yes, but it always comes back to the same question: what do I genuinely have to offer to this discussion? And is that question itself even worth exploring publicly?

Maybe I'll figure that out soon. For now, I'll step aside and direct my listening toward groups like Higher Heights and INCITE!, each of whom are working hard to empower women of color and trans/non-binary folks. If you can relate to any of the above sentiments, consider learning more about the activism happening in and around your communities. And if you're aware of any orgs doing work important to you, shoot me an email. I'd love to hear more.

With that, I'm off my soapbox.

Thanks for reading.
