Hilary Sloane,
Joshua Tree, CA.
It happened several times. The last time a stranger shot me five times through my car window and hit me three times. I have had the opportunity to heal those traumas through encounters with beautiful, loving strangers of color. My responses are relaxing and I no longer jump when I see strangers in the street. I know it was an experience and not a statement about a whole race. I hope that members of the black community, who have been violated and abused can see that it’s individuals not a whole race.
