I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
Just to be clear, if my child goes out with y’all and y’all return and my child is nowhere to be found, and there’s no answer in sight, your moms are going to be just as sad as I am.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
black children deserve to live. black children deserve to experience life. black children deserve to know what safety feels like, to know joy unmarred by the same fear that tethers us all from birth. black children deserve to grow old. black children deserve to live.
people will be like “i voted for Trump because i thought it was the lesser of two evils”. you thought a rapist and pedophile was less evil??? just say you hate women and Black people.
