*As a mom, I was inspired to pay tribute to George Floyd.
The video of his death was such a shock to the conscious. It immediately caused what I describe as internal emotional confusion. Unsure of what I was feeling. Unable to process the images shown.
The past few weeks have been traumatic for those who witnessed his death. We are all grappling with how to respond – some protest, some paint, some kneel, some draw, and some pray. I decided to write.
I wanted to capture some of the emotional heartache associated with this tragedy – the emotional and post-traumatic stress inflicted on the world as we watched George Floyd die pinned down by the knee of a police officer – an image we will remember the rest of our lives.
