Dear Dr. Darcy,

I see you talking and posting about the BLM movement a lot and I want to ask, out of genuine curiosity and desire to understand, what does any of it have to do with relationships? I miss your relationship blogs.

People of color are tired of hearing that I’m heartbroken.

They’re tired of black murder resulting in a kind of Black People’s Spirit Week where we whites gush empathy and outrage and get distracted the minute the news cycle changes. Or by the gnat that flies in our peripheral.

Do something is what they say.

I have to DO SOMETHING. I get it. And probably more than clicking the box for recurring monthly donations to Black Lives Matter and Equal Justice Initiative. I hear you, POC.

I’ve been racking my tiny brain for the past week, working to land on an objective that I think is achievable but one that will also make a difference.

Where I land is lofty, but it feels right.
