Apologies for the delay in posting.
This was my 2nd Q, and I found it much more challenging than the first.
Physically, emotionally and spiritually.
The events leading up to Monday morning triggered more emotions than I realized.
Truth be told, I’ve been procrastinating writing this report because I’ve been afraid to express myself, and at a loss for words.
But hiding in silence is not the answer.
I’m married to an incredible woman and we are raising wonderful young girl.
They are both black.
Half of my family is black.
I love them more than I can express.
I’ve had some painful experiences witnessing racism while growing up, and as an adult, that hurt me to the core, and possibly caused me to shy away from being the best friend, father & husband I want to be.
This opportunity to share some personal information is uncomfortable but I feel it is necessary.
Black Lives Matter.
This is not a political statement, or something that takes away from the fact that all lives matter, and most certainly those officers that justly uphold the law.
It is a statement for the human race.
Systemic & institutionalized racism is embedded like an ingrown toenail and creates more pain if we do not address it.
So, I would like to address it, and find a positive way to take a stance and create change.
How can our words & actions through F3 create change and take a stance against racism?
I’ve been around since November and have seen us raise money and directly support our local community & the country as a whole.
I’m willing to take the lead and create a challenge that might be similar to RRR or even a way to raise funds like FFF.
I have some ideas of community organizations and or education programs that can directly benefit from our actions.
I am open to suggestions and assistance, as this is a new endeavor for me.
F3 is a free organization open to all men that are interested in fitness, fellowship & faith.
I have faith in F3 that our actions can have a positive impact not only for our community, but the human race.
With Respect.
