My mom saw you in the stokes news and I have to say reading about your life story in adulthood provided a rare sense of hope about the future. Finally someone from stokes county with not only views I agree with but someone that has the platform to make change. I changed so much as well, but I never did anything with my realization except educate my parents. I am not religious but often talk with my parents how fundamentally the actual message of Christ has been ignored for too long and despite not believing in a divine being, I believe in the message and respect those Christians that actually live it every day.
I spend a lot of time in communities of color for work reasons and I wish more people could see these places for themselves. People walking dogs, hanging out on the front porch, people gardening, kids playing outside, laughing and loving no matter their background or color. I assumed everyone from south stokes that went to college had changed like I had and was kind of shocked when I found out the sad truth. At least I know there are more people out there that have realized the truth.
