49:From The Heart of A Black Mom

While we're amidst a time in history that many are mourning, Tisha invites us to understand she is grateful for right now to be black in America because she gets to be a part of the change.

Tisha kept hearing from spirit that she needs to talk about injustice and the killing of our black men and the lack of humanity in this weeks episode. Tisha opens up about dealing with racism with her children and a time when her daughter was in the 1st grade, there was a little boy that was picking on her. Her daughter used her courage to ask the boy why he kept picking on her and he told her, "he didn’t like her because she was black." 

"As a mother, as a black mother, your heart just breaks." 

Tisha feels as if most mothers are living in fear because the thing she always tells her son in regards to how to react when dealing police officers is exactly what George Floyd did. He complied, and he Is dead. As a mother, you’re in fear everyday for your children and their interactions with law enforcement. You’re afraid because those men being killed and televised could be your son.

An animal’s life is more important than human lives at this point. The burning of a building or a car or a bus is far less important than human lives. All of it has insurance you can get it back tomorrow, but a human life cannot come back tomorrow. 

If you’re privileged, you need to first acknowledge that you are privileged. It is up to us to do the work. We have to get out of that mindset. We have to understand that our current circumstances don’t define who we are. We have people so concerned with their reputation, their followers, with their business, the money they’re going to make or that they’re going to lose it or their audience that they wont speak up or even acknowledge what is happening. 

Tisha asks us to ask ourselves, "where is your racism at within yourself?" We need to change the laws. We have to ask ourselves instead, why do we even have to say “Black lives Matter”? Is it because we’re being shown that black lives don’t matter.

The most important question to ask yourself during this time is are you a part of the problem or a part of the solution?
