We all make mistakes. It’s part of what makes us human. For some of us, it can feel as though our past mistakes follow us around.

When we can’t let go of our mistakes, they can impact our day to day life and the way that we speak to ourselves.

Once, when I was a student in graduate school, I was waiting for a flight from North Carolina to Michigan to visit some family members.

I am late sharing my thoughts on Black History Month this year because I have been concentrating on our upcoming Social Work Day on the Hill and Student Advocacy Days. Each year, I look for history that helps me understand the current circumstances of black people in America. Two years ago, I had an awakening after reading W. E. B. DuBois’s Black Reconstruction America.
