[Reflection from the Conversation on Healing from Trauma: Colleyville, COVID, and Rising Hate on January 24, 2022 and in gratitude to Dr. Hadia Mubarak]

We are sisters,

scared because of hate aimed at our difference,

feeling safety in our solidarity,

and support as we lift up one another.

We are brothers,

bound by our commitment and be in relationship together –

and together to transform our society for the better.

We are siblings,

bound by love,

& by faith in what our future can bring.

We are family.
