Here’s your short holiday-week in haiku.
“Good holiday of
colonial oppression
to you and yours!” she
waved goodbye and grinned.
We were standing by the
side of the road in
Pine Ridge, November’s
last warm day, sage smoke still swirled.
She taught rock guitar
to girls on the Rez.
“They need to learn their power,
they need a big voice
to fight and stay safe.”
The day before Thanksgiving
now belongs to her.

Don’t forget to post pictures of the holiday food that bring you comfort and joy on Instagram with the hashtag #fortunefeast. (Or just email them to ellen.mcgirt@fortune.com.) We might feature your photo in a future raceAhead edition.
Enjoy your time off with friends and family. We are grateful for your big voices. RaceAhead returns on December 2.
