 Karis Leverett was deeply affected by the recent events surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement and Leverett spent his hiatus Making sure his voice was heard. Well, I was a part of maybe four or five Marches or protests, however you want to call it and honestly, I don't think it's been the last four or five months I think it's been, you know, kind of just like that I feel like the last four or five months has been, you know, documented and people are kind of just paying attention to it You know, that's kind of been going on since before I was born, you know, I was kind of born into it So I don't want to say it's normal, but people like myself are kind of used to seeing, you know, crazy things like that happen So I mean, it's good to see, you know, more awareness being brought to it But at the same time, you know, I feel like real change needs to come. I feel like more conversations are being had So that's the first step And I think, you know, for change to happen, it needs to just keep happening, you know, more conversations, more action needs to be taken I feel like some people weren't really aware of what was going on And for how long it was going on, you know, just having conversations with different staff members on my team or, you know Just different, you know, ex teammates I've had, teammates that I've had Just talking about my experiences and, you know, what I've gone through It's kind of, you know, different to imagine that people didn't really know that was going on But I feel like education is the most important part right now when you're going forward, you know People kind of know that we're behind the eight ball a little bit now And then going forward, I feel like, you know, more action will definitely be put in place But I think conversation and education is the most important thing right now
