Respect and Facts!!!!! Your one of the good ones too!! Please stop making me feel ! this damn onion got my eyes all watery.I could never go against you. You embody what I feel a Black Woman should be.
I only got a couple weeks left in my 30s and I constantly ask myself "how do you want to be remembered?", and the answer is going all out for my people.
Know what though... I would fall on that sword every. single. fukkin. time. If I (we) have to make that sacrifice, in order to send the message or stand up for those who can’t, don’t or are unable to, as a show of alignment and defend what I feel is the right thing to do ... .. I’m standing right there, front and center. It’s easier to sit with the status quo than to stand for individuality. The day that I follow behind anyone, take the easy route or choose to compromise my values and beliefs, is that I day that I might as well be dead. Without struggle, there’s no progress. Never a follower.
