💔 Listening, Learning, Evolving, Acting. We Must Do Better.

Friends, 

What we witnessed through George Floyd's murder was evil incarnate, not to mention the countless others who have come before him, and the massively dysfunctional systems in America that perpetuate injustice, racism, and senseless violence.

We have hit a boiling point of rage and heartbreak.

Although I typically aim to keep PivotList globally focused and out of the sphere of news and politics (in itself, a privilege), I am compelled to elevate voices during this time in support of Black Lives Matter.

If you are one of the many activists already working in this space, THANK YOU. ❤️ 🎙 To further #amplifymelanatedvoices, I invite you to submit voice recordings to air on the Pivot Podcast via SpeakPipe, or for longer messages, send your recording link to hello@pivotmethod.com. 

In following #muted this week, I have paused my daily podcasts to turn the airtime tables over to leaders within Black Lives Matter, who are already fighting courageously on the front lines for change—and until I have a better sense of what I can say, share, and do. 

Let me briefly say, while in deep listening and learning mode: I am appalled and enraged by the ongoing police brutality and broken criminal justice system in the United States. 

This is unacceptable and we must do better. 

*I* must do better as a podcaster, listener, coach, friend, community member, and leader to continue building anti-racism skills and taking meaningful action. 

In the meantime, I am absorbing as much as I can to do my part, and am deeply grateful for all who are helping raise awareness and our collective consciousness. Please bear with me and others as we catch-up to making sense of the biggest, most inclusive picture. I recognize that even this message is sensitive and imperfect in ways I don't yet see or understand, and I welcome your feedback.

Black Lives Matter.

Which brings me to this week's round-up of helpful resources . . . 

With Love, 
Jenny
