Yeah.

I don't know the exact number, and you may be able to help me on this, of black women that lost their jobs last year.

Over 300,000.

300,000.

grief and shout out to Felicia Butterfield yes we love you Felicia for the global state of women and the fun for black women to have some relief and so it's a hard time and it's particularly painful like when you know people and not just one person but you know multiple people who have been out of work for over a year

And it's all because of a deliberate, aggressive, poignant attack on Black women, on Black people, on our livelihood, on our lives, on our education, on our culture.

And so in this moment, I just think that it's a reality check for a lot of people because I think some people didn't take it as seriously and now are realizing that this is

This is real.

Yeah, this is real.

I remember a friend of mine saying when everything, the pendulum started swinging in our favor, he said, be careful.

He said, because just as it swings, it's going to go back in the other direction very drastically.

And what could you give us as a community advice on how to handle this as the pendulum is not in our favor?

I think in this moment, I'm going to go back to where we started this podcast in prayer.

It's being grounded and recognizing that we are always going to be okay because God has us.

And I think that's where it starts.

It's just having a level of peace and understanding as hard as it is.

And I get to speak to my own self about that.

there's something greater that is holding us.

So I think that's the first place.

And the second is that we cannot, as a people in this moment, be silent.
