A lightning bolt of energy was set off when a Black and South Asian woman stepped up to make a last-second Hail Mary. When the game seemed lost, she gave us her best heave, and as the ball left her hands, we all gasped and held our breath. There was hope. And she gave it to us. All that was left to do was pray that the good guys ― we, the people — would be ready and waiting with hands outstretched. That we’d catch her pass in the end zone and bring home a hard-fought victory.
