When I have that conversation, I'm always trying to make sure that it is in service of the thing I can most radically dream.

And that is us building a world that

that protects and respects and is so grateful to be enriched by the genius and the joy of my children.

I'm raising two Black boys until and unless they tell me otherwise.

And I look at them every day.

I mean, we're snowed in right now, right?

I got an 11-month-old and a fresh four-year-old.

Jesus.

And it's chaotic around here, but they look at the snow and they're just like enamored.

They're like, this is the most amazing.

You mean it comes from the sky and then it coats the ground.

Then I get to go make a snow angel.

I get to, but what is this soft stuff?

I don't, what?

This is incredible.

That wonder, that innocence, that joy is so pure.

And I want a world that sees that.

and knows it's made richer by that, not a world that wants to crush it, not a world that sees its task as extracting from that, but a world that sees its task as enriching that.

When my child, my four-year-old makes up a song about snow, I want to build a world that sees that as like literary genius, right?

And musical beauty, it sounds so far-fetched.
