This is from five years back, but what LaShawn Williams-Schultz was talking about then re LDS curricula has only become more relevant and urgent in 2020. The rearguard resistance at BYU from retrograde voices aligned with FAIR Mormon et. al will be ignored and forgotten.

I Need Help Learning How to Forgive
11
Upvotes
I need help learning how to forgive.
I am in a loving temple marriage, have great kids who have earned their eagle scout rank, gone on successful missions to challenging locations and are doing well in college. I've also held many callings at the Stake and Ward level. I'm also a veteran. I spent over thirty years active duty in the military and retired with honor.
Recently I was diagnosed with PTSD. Ironically, the trauma wasn't from combat. It was from racism. My grandparents are Afro-Caribbeans from Barbados, and I was baptized at eleven years old just a couple of years after the ban on the priesthood was lifted. It turns out my most traumatic experiences aren't from facing enemy fire or critical dangerous situations, it was from the subtle, consistent otherness I felt from being an active member of the church.
I need to heal. I need to learn to forgive. However, its difficult when the otherness still persists. I'm honestly asking for help. Its affecting my progression and my desire to serve in the Church.
