This is a book that I must read. We do need to choose kindness always and pursue it relentlessly. I would love to read a black woman’t thoughts on this topic. Thank you for sharing this with us!

This sounds like an important book (and voice) to be listening to. I appreciated your use of the phrase “chasing kindness.” So often we pursue lesser goals.

“But maybe it’s worth showing up anyway. Maybe we still show up just to prove that kindness and proximity aren’t always about our comfort. We keep showing up to remind ourselves that dignity and hope weigh more than humiliation’s sting.”

Thank you for shairng your insights on this book! I am going to read it. I need messages like this.
