On today's episode, I am getting real with you about something we all do but rarely admit. We live on defense. The second somebody comes at us with a different view, a different feeling, a different truth, we brace up and buck before we ever really listen. It started with a video I could not shake this past weekend, and it turned into one of the most honest conversations I have had about how some men truly feel.
I take you from the "Black Lives Matter" versus "All Lives Matter" moment all the way into my own household, where my baby girl is growing into her independence and teaching me to breathe, put the ego down, and let her feel validated. (It's a work in progress.) I even pull in a little hoop wisdom, because when your teammate misses the free throw, YOU did not lose. WE lost. That is what being a team really means, on the court, in the house, and in this community.
And yes, this ties right into our "Hug a Tree" series, because staying grounded and rooted is exactly what this moment asks of us. I am not preaching from some mountaintop here, I am learning right alongside you. That Brooklyn is still in me, trust me. But three little words are changing my relationships one conversation at a time: I hear you.
