I was incredibly lucky that in being willing to open up about their experiences, they were willing also to open their hearts to me, because then I mentioned, right, I'm not black. And I would never claim to truly understand that experience, but I think they could tell that I was incredibly passionate about helping people to make sense of that experience and to Not just change them.
