I can’t bring myself to watch the Derek Chauvin case. My heart and mind can’t take it. I see snippets on the news and get updates from friends and fellow writers, but I can’t watch it. According to mental health experts, the trial can be triggering to Black people as we watch testimonies and repeatedly see the video of Mr. Floyd’s torturous murder.
