My work-life imbalance

My two year-old is asleep now and my first grader is about to work on her math assignment for the day. Right now, my spirit and flesh are both weak, I have to help with math homework, and I really should be grading.

Why is it so hard? How I got through my hardest professional hurdle yet

It’s overwhelming – I feel like I should be doing so much right now

I spend a few seconds sinking into this emotion, shuddering from the reality that the life of a black man/woman/child is not valued the same as my white friends and coworkers. I feel guilty about not speaking up and telling someone…but find that I don’t know where to begin.
