The world does not need a billion suns. It needs stars and moons. Some people are the mountains, some the seas. Some stand as rivers, others trees. Your greatness is waiting for you to discover how it shines in the world and there's magic in knowing there's so much you can be.
This time last year i was fighting for my life. today, i'm fighting for my life. However, there's a significant change in the quality of the fight and the quality of the life i'm fighting for
Hear me out, what if, instead of executing prisoners. Doctors just put them under, then harvest their organs for donation? You take a life, you are sentenced to save 10... I can get behind that 👍🏿
I see how they are quickly shouting “women caused it, feminism caused it”. Yet, you didn’t think the school security guard that raped a 5 yr old child in his care before the mother picked her up caused it.
You didn’t think the neighbor who raped a baby in diaper because the mother begged him to help her hold the child while she cook caused it? P.S the child bleed to death
You didn’t think the man who raped a 10yr old for about 3 yrs simply because they do wait there after school for their mother to return from market caused it.
You didn’t think the father who impregnated his 13 yr old daughter caused it.
You all are idiots
ALL influencers who are living lavish are being paid to keep you watching + buying instead of going outside. The *second* I started influencing people to go outside, all my accounts got limited, the money disappeared, & I had to decide if I cared more about money or the world.
one day you'll run into a guy you aren't attracted to, but he treats you right from the start and you'll force yourself to give him a chance, it's very important that you ignore him
She was bought at fourteen by a man who assaulted her for five years and fathered two of her children.
When she finally fought back and he died, Missouri put her on trial — and the court ruled she had no right to defend herself. Celia. 1855.
Missouri law at the time said a woman could use deadly force to defend her honour.
Celia's lawyers argued that law covered her. The judge ruled it did not — because the statute said "any woman," and Celia was not legally a woman. She was property.
That was the finding. Not that she was lying. Not that it had not happened. That the protection did not extend to her, because she was a thing.
She was convicted and sentenced to hang. The state waited until she had given birth — the baby was stillborn — and then executed her in December 1855.
She was nineteen years old.
Her story is the kind of buried history that we must never forget https://t.co/V6OJtazidd
Maya Angelou was assaulted by her mother’s boyfriend when she was seven. She told her brother, then her abuser was found beaten to death. So she became mute. She did not speak a word for five years, because she believed her words could kill a person.
