No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

Hidden Grace My given name meant grace, so grace has always been a part of me, but I could never quite find it 'til clouds of shame cleared. One rainy day I left the courthouse with a new name. Clouds parted; sun shone thru sprinkling rain. I once was grace, hidden. Now I'm Grace out in the open.

Linked is an edited version of something I wrote when “Faith over Fear” became popular in Christian circles. It always bothered me because while it might sound good, it’s misleading. What overcomes fear? Not faith. Love. (1 Jn 4:18) Love over Fear > Faith over Fear www.instagram.com/p/DE2tN03Rh_E/

November 2024. What a wild, surreal month. Less than a week in, I cried almost non-stop for more than a day, filled with grief for our country and the direction we’re headed. Days later, I was cleaning the house, then hosting a birthday celebration for one of my kids. And that was just the start.
