I won’t waste time arguing that the history of sentencing and “justice” has disproportionately ended with Black people, POC and allies getting the short end of the stick. We who believe in TRUE equality and equity feel a range of emotions. Feeling is good. Feeling leads to doing
The silver lining is that anyone can do something. Channel your frustration to make positive change. Vote. Support a cause that speaks to you. Raise awareness. We need people to run for office, we need lawyers, we need judges, we need doctors, we need teachers, we need volunteers

Many of you are wondering “what will NASCAR do”....We set the tone for sports coming back during this pandemic. We stood up for change. We stood up for racial justice. We stood up for #GeorgeFloyd We stood up for #AhmaudArbery and #BreonnaTaylor.
We will continue to stand for the countless victims of police brutality. Nothing can justify #JacobBlake being shot 7 times in the back. I proudly support my brothers and sisters from all sports backgrounds and the stance they are taking to fight for equality.

Alot of people have come up or reached out to me after speaking out about depression, thanking me.. to this day. Never understood why at first, but living in this society today.. we're judged before we speak or do. Labels are placed upon us instantly, it's not fair..
People see depression as a sign of weakness. I'm guessing that's why a lot of people hold it in.. just by speaking about my struggles, it's helped so many people! So many! That's not weak at all. It's the exact opposite I feel. Speaking up holds alot of power and strength!..
