Chris Harris Jr.: A Letter to My Black Daughters

To the four greatest girls in the world,

I need to talk to you about something that’s been weighing on me for the past few weeks. It’s a tough conversation, because it’s a subject that you don’t even understand in your hearts yet.

I need to talk to you about hatred.

But first, daddy’s gotta remind you how much he loves you. Every day, he’s gotta do that, right? Well, for the record, on this day, June 19, 2020, this is what he loves about you.

Aria, you’re five, and I love how you’re always looking out for your sisters, and how you’re always on them quick when they’re not doing their chores, or cleaning up their rooms.
