Some days, it’s too much. Parents, children, families are being killed everyday. Some days, it’s too much

You try to remember a time when the name of a dead black person and a cop wasn’t in your head. A new name arrives. A new cop arrives.

You look across the office at black coworker sitting at her desk. You wonder if she knows the name of this dead black person and this cop.

But there will always be more names of dead black people and cops. And you only have so much body, so much black skin.
