I too would have been taken aback by the skewed social commentary of the photo and I think I would have carried that mild resentment around with me for several hours... yet I am not sure I would have been as brave or as engaged to comment on it because lately I find blind spot "artistic" people to be wearing on my sense of seeking justice... So, consider that in this post you have made me sit back, reconsider my turning away as the easy way and that I will be commenting, albeit in a constructive manner, to the next "insensitive" I encounter... I especially liked your observation, "... being silent is a disservice to all those who have no option but to show up as their authentic selves every day." Thanks for once again making me think about making changes and being a bit more intentional in my bravery... instead of jaded.
