One of the things I got from Rev. Rachel is this:
When we acknowledge that Black babies are 4 times more likely to die at birth than White babies in our county, and then we put that away and keep on with our lives, we lose a piece of our integrity/ a piece of our soul.
I agree and empathize. I see that “Cradle Kalamazoo” is working on this issue.
I have heard from our brown/black siblings in Kalamazoo that they want to see the White people show up. I’m ready to say that I haven’t done my part but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask how. Is sending money to “Cradle Kalamazoo” showing up? Is there some “in person” think I should be doing?
Thank you Rev. Rachel for these powerful words!
Wow! Thank you Rev. Rachel for sharing your story and for being so honest. Stories like yours will help heal people hearts.
