I was saddened to first note that COVID-19 has disproportionately affected the lives of Black Americans at high rates. Now, came the issue of George Floyd and others, the senseless deaths were horrific and deeply disturbing. A great country like America is now run on the issue of racism. I watched a video of Dwayne Johnson, an actor, begging in pain and pleading to the president to show direction on racial justice and solve the issues.

It is a disease that has been mainstreamed in many spheres of life. This is not a war that will be won within a short time. We should however sustain the fight to the very end. I wish to associate myself with all these efforts and offer myself to play my part where I can.

It takes an organization with excellent values to challenge its own history and make these strong commitments to fight white supremacy and ensure fairness. I especially like the area of – who is regarded as an expert. It is time to challenge this, as this cannot be just a one-way stream. The global south has excellent human resources, who are experts in their own rights and should be accorded such recognition. Expertise is not embedded in skin color nor location.
