The mere fact of talking about it is important. When I saw the video [of Floyd’s killing], I was upset. And it changes my views of my white colleagues even if I don’t want it to. It was good for me to vent my frustrations. And discussing the issue with my colleagues helped me not feel like it was me versus them. It supports good professional relations.
