How to Make America Great Again.

Some call it the Great American Tragedy; others, our country's biggest nightmare. Though be it only my third time voting, I have never been so physically + emotionally drained by an election. But here it is: Donald J. Trump is our forty-fifth President & honestly I have to admit, I'm angry but but more importantly I'm concerned: for Muslims, for women, for people of color, for middle-class Americans, for the LGBT+ community, for immigrants, for those with disabilities. I'm concerned about small businesses, our welfare + healthcare system, the future of education, the state of the environment & the overall safety and well-bring of our country. 

For those unable the process or in shock of all that has occurred, breathe; it's a lot to take in but take time to think + heal. You're not being irrational or overdramatic or too sensitive. Realize that the fact that you could voice your opinion + vote in the election means that you are a safe, blessed and greatly appreciated citizen of the United States of America. 

So what do we do from here? Keep going & don't give up. Get involved & let your voice be heard. Give back to your community, check in on your friends today, have a calm conversation over coffee with someone with opposing views. Keep standing up for the issues that matter the most. I do believe our voices can be heard. I believe together we can raise our voice + fight to make the changes that need to be made. America is a beautiful country made of the different backgrounds, stories & experiences of people from all walks of life.  Keep an open mind & let's fight together. 

We are stronger together & we can make America great again.
