I am deeply saddened by the death of #GeorgeFloyd and other similar injustices. MY HEART IS SO HEAVY. I am committed to being a part of change in our society that should not tolerate these senseless acts of violence and blatant inequalities.

God blessed me with 4 amazing biracial grandchildren. I couldn’t even imagine someone seeing them like they did George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery or Breoanna Taylor.
We have too much that can unite us, we can’t keep letting something like race divide us.#CoachesStandForJustice pic.twitter.com/Hyqq0nLfcB
