“I have [only in last few yrs] fully embraced my complete identity…
Now, …I love being different.
…Whatever you do…,
[Do] with freedom.
Be brave.
Don’t hide.
Forget what others think.
Only you decide who you are.”

It took me awhile to get here and I’ve never been more proud to share my story. #AAPIHeritageMonth@PlayersTribune

I can’t believe it was 27 years ago that we said these words on our special day. Time flies, but looking forward to many many many more years.

A Black Wedding Song
This love is a rich cry
over the deviltries
and the death. A weapon-song.
Keep it strong.
1/
For you I wish the kindness
that romps
or sorrows along. Or kneels.
I wish you the daily
forgiveness of each other.
For war comes in
from the World and puzzles a darling duet
–tangles tongues, tears hearts,
mashes minds; there will be
the need to forgive.
Equally in awe of @ProfessorEA’s poetry,
eg “The Invocation” @MemPeaceJustice:
“The wind brings your names.
We will never dissever your names
nor your shadows beneath each branch and tree. … ”
& her work @MellonFdn.
Congrats to the recent @SpelmanCollege Hon Deg recipient!
