I recently spoke with Kalissa Scopes of Unlearning Everyday Racism. This was, at times, an emotional interview (for me).

Can You Forgive Yourself?

99 #2 - Meet The Reckoner
Today, our theme is reckoning, or thinking about the reckoner. Certainly, this can be a troublesome concept for me if I think of a reckoner as someone outside of myself to settle accounts – a sort of judge who may or may not be fair and who scolds or punishes. But what about that part of me that...
