The March

Natalie’s square recalls her participation in the momentous Black Lives Matter march that took place in Washington near the start of the pandemic. The experience has made her more aware, more appreciative of diversity and more respectful of the opinions of others: “I’m so grateful I was able to participate. This is going to be in the books of our kids in years to come and I want to make sure that everyone knows how big of an impact this made on the world. I’ve always lived in Arlington but I haven’t used DC to get closer to politics. This was really empowering.
