Alexa, I feel for you all. I genuinely do. I've had this conversation with more than one American this past week and the fact that you're all feeling the same way makes me wonder exactly what you're wondering...."who did this!"

Like Donna, we get to sit up here north of the border as spectators but we are thinking of you!

And I'm SO happy to hear your first survival group was beyond your expectations. That makes my heart happy for you and I hope they continue to provide you with space and comfort.

Oh Sweetie, I've been meaning to contact you all week and failed to do so. My heart aches for all of you - your whole self and your loved ones. I am so glad you are hosting these excellent parties to give you and your students something to sink your teeth into.❤️

I am so sorry America failed you and failed Black Women especially. Failed women royally. Like you, I’ve looked at every person, every stranger and wondered ‘did you do this?’ Unfortunately I live in red state where people proudly wear their thoughts on their heads so I *know* they brought us to this. Once I get over the initial shock, I’ll go back to work even harder trying to turn this red state blue. On a more encouraging note I can’t wait for the holiday party you’re hosting! I signed up for the 20th I think and I can’t wait!
