being a freshman in college in 1989 and watching the Central Park Five go to prison.
And so you could just tell the story over and over for every milestone that I've had in my life, it aligns with some pivotal thing happening to a Black body.
You know, when Rodney King was beaten, it was the first time something like that got caught on film, besides historic lynchings, which were made celebratory back in the day.
But, you know, it was just good to talk about it.
And it actually makes me think about some of the other stories in that first episode where some of our storytellers, more than one, even some of the clips that were included and some of the amazing clips that we weren't able to fit in, talked about this idea of...
What do you do with that information when it comes to you?
Do you look at it?
For me, as you know, I look.
One, because I want to individualize that person.
I want to know what happened.
And I actually want to be disturbed.
But everybody doesn't feel that way.
And what I loved about one of the stories in particular, where one of our storytellers asked her sister if she should look, and her sister said don't.

One of our storytellers had me thinking a lot about how our unique vantage points shape the way that we grieve in this time.
You know, for me, a cishet Black woman who's married to a Black man and who has two Black sons who are in this sort of space where they're no longer considered innocents anymore.
So as a mom and as a wife, I worry about them, but I'm not a Black man.
