This is a conversation that is very active in my home, and in my close circle. It’s a conversation that shows up regularly in the work I do holding reflective spaces and supervision with organisations and individuals actively committed to anti racism. Just last week I was moved to tears holding a group reflective space where the pain was palpable and I felt helpless. The last couple of weeks has felt particularly heavy for me as a result. I initially put it down to end of school year exhaustion, the emotional rollercoaster of my child finishing primary school and life just life-ing. But the more I reflect on it, the more I feel that the heaviness is charged! The more I am naming my heaviness the more I am seeing that I am not alone, others are feeling this same. So being really honest, I wrote these words for me, I needed this reminder, that I am not alone in what I am feeling. That to feel is to be human. If you needed this reminder too, I hope it helps. Going to exhibition at the was also much needed. It gave me hope at a time when I feel despair.
