September 1, 2016, 10 years ago today, 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick put his life, career, and livelihood on the line when he kneeled during the national anthem. Once he explained the reason behind why he was kneeling, the sports, activism, and corporate world as we all knew it, was changed forever.
On November 19, 2017
11 months after Colin played his last game in the NFL, 2 months after #45 called for NFL owners to fire players that didn’t stand for the national anthem, and 5 day after Kapernick as names Time’s “Person of the Year,” cSituation hosted the event.
This is by far one of the most powerful conversations we’ve facilitated. Everything discussed on that day in 2017 could very well have been discussed yesterday.
Colin Kaepernick sacrificed so much to send a message of solidarity to the Black community. For so many Black people to take his actions lightly is egregious.
cSituation has and will always be a supporter of Colin Kaepernick. He is the true definition of what a Black leader and role model should be. Which is, someone who unapologetically stands ten toes down for his people and their fight for justice in this country.
A HUGE thank you to each of our guests for this candid conversation! We learned a lot from each other during those three hours.
cSituation was always a Sunday therapy session!
