Reflecting on Silence: A Tribute to George Floyd

In a powerful and poignant episode, 'Finding OK' takes a moment to reflect on the harrowing reality of racial injustice. For 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the length of time a police officer's knee was on George Floyd's neck, the podcast remains silent. This deliberate silence speaks volumes, urging listeners to contemplate the gravity of those moments and the broader implications of systemic racism.
The episode stands as a tribute to George Floyd and a call to action against racial inequality. It’s a stark reminder that sometimes, silence can be the loudest cry for justice. Hecate, the host, encourages white listeners to truly feel the weight of those 8 minutes and 46 seconds, fostering a deeper understanding of the urgency for change. Accompanying this episode are resources for supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and educating oneself on anti-racism.
Whether you’re looking to donate to community bail funds, support homeless Black trans women, or find self-education materials, this episode provides a comprehensive list of actionable steps. If you’re committed to standing against racial injustice and seeking ways to contribute meaningfully, this episode offers a solemn yet powerful starting point.
