Living your life and thriving is an act of protest itself. Continue to be in places/spaces wherever you choose to be and thrive. Nobody can take that away from you. Also, white folks y'all need to do better to protect and defend Black and Indigenous people, which means putting your bodies at the front lines and doing the actual anti racism work before harm is done.
I lived in Minneapolis from age 2 to 12 and my name is Dionne, too. We lived at 39th and Oakland Avenue South on a block that was 50/50 black and white families. California was and continues to be a culture shock-terrible public schools are at the root of it. I need to revisit Minnesota and see if it is less idyllic then I remember. Thanks for posting!
