With several news stories about more police brutality and lives taken at the hands of law enforcement, many of us are stressed out, feel anxiety and are facing more uncertain times.
My prayer is that we can stay peaceful and turn aggression and anger into ways to get the right people in positions of power to change the way things have been existing in America. Already there have been more police deployed to certain areas of the city and some businesses are bracing for possible unrest by boarding up.
We're still in a very uncertain climate with the pandemic existing and just the every day, societal problems that many of us face. Chicago is a beautiful city made up of diverse cultures and I still have hope that one day we will all be able to understand and respect each other's differences.
Before you act, please think about your life, and those who love and care about you. Be peaceful.
