Racial reconciliation is not for the faint of heart. I’ve been especially curious about the impact of BLM, racial unrest and the call for racial reckoning on interracial relationships. So I was delighted when today’s guest, Award Winning Blogger Williesha Morris agreed to have an honest conversation about it. For her, a Black woman who was moved to activism after witnessing the death of George Floyd and the outcry of BLM, to be married to a White man took on a complexity that she had not anticipated when they met and got married years before. Despite that, however, her desire to love her husband, clear-eyed yes but with empathy, models the grace and dignity that’s so needed today. So, with this episode, I hope that something will be deposited in the soil of our humanity that will turn down the noise so we can see one another as worthy humans.
