After an emotional and historical day watching the nation and even the world come together to amplify the message that black lives matter in response to George Floyd's death, I reached out to my friend Jennifer Borgier on Blackout Tuesday and she graciously agreed to come back on the podcast and discuss anti-racism with me.

She also has an incredibly unique perspective as a black woman in an interracial marriage married to a white

police officer so we talked about her experiences and suggestions on uniting instead of dividing people during this time.

She explains why the phrase,

all lives matter, isn't helpful,

and what is helpful and productive in supporting this message.

And how to stand up and say something tactfully to someone when they make a racist comment

and what to do if you've messed up in the past and want to make it right.

I'm so thankful to Jennifer for sharing her voice today and for the positive influence she is in my life and so many others.

Hi everybody I am here today with my dear friend Jennifer Borgier who you guys have heard from before.

It was a couple months ago we did an amazing interview and it was a little more light-hearted

than probably what today will be just because of our recent current events, but I reached out to Jennifer because I respect her opinion so much. I feel like she's such a powerful positive thought leader in the space of Black Lives Matter and just an advocate for the black community, but also she has such an interesting perspective to being married to someone in law enforcement.

So I'm really so grateful that she's taking the time today.

It's actually Blackout Tuesday today.

So she and I both have, I mean everyone I feel like in the nation has had an emotional day so, but especially her so I just super appreciate her taking the time. So I just want you to briefly introduce yourself

Jennifer if somebody is picking up this episode for the first time and they

haven't heard of you before. Yeah, thank you so much. You're so kind. I appreciate you having this

conversation and all the conversations that you have. So, very happy to be here.

You know, you pretty much summed it up. I'm Jennifer Bourget. I we met back in college at

BYU and we were studying broadcast journalism and since then I worked as a journalist for

about 10 years and during that time I started a blog.

It's rebranded but it's called Cherish 365 which basically is about enjoying the everyday
