These episode contains some thoughts I had last week. I believe many others may have the same thoughts. So I’m sharing this to let those out there know that they are not alone, including myself. The decisions you make on a daily should be done guilt-free. When you chose to rest, that is good. When you choose to live, that too is good. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/greenbyuglyduck/support

Today (July 1, 2020) I took part in the #ShareTheMicNowOKC Instagram (IG) event!  This was the opportunity for OKC black community leaders and influencers to take over the platform of OKC White community leaders and influencers.  I was honored to take over Stacey Johnson's IG, @staceyjlife; be sure to check her out!   As part of this day, I asked my beautifully brilliant sister to join me on this podcast to discuss Cognitive Dissonance/ Cognitve Schemas as it relates to race relations, today, in America and OKC: police brutality, the Karens, racism, unconscious bias, and more. #ShareTheMicNow #ShareTheMicNowOKC #KeepSharingTheMic #BlackWomenVoices #AmplifyBlackVoices #BlackLivesMatter #BlackWomenMatter --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/greenbyuglyduck/support

This talk was for CreativeMornings/OKC.  On Friday, June 26th, I was the speaker for the Virtual Gathering of CreativeMornings OKC.  *Note: this talk was created along with a visual presentation. June’s theme is #CMinsecure. It was chosen by CreativeMornings Louisville and illustrated by Rachael Sinclair. Presented globally by WordPress. "We recognize the ongoing history of oppression that has systemically  been inflicted upon the Black community for generations. We also  recognize that to be an ally we need to listen to the experiences of POC  - just as Black Lives Matter, Black storytelling matters. CreativeMornings was founded on the belief that “We bring together  people who are driven by passion and purpose, confident that they will  inspire one another, and inspire change in neighborhoods and cities  around the world” - this month we lean into that mission by amplifying  the voice of speaker, emcee, writer, and spoken-word artist, Krista Chante Rice." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/greenbyuglyduck/support
