“Bheki was everything to us. He was the first Mlangeni to go to university. When they killed him, they took our lives, they took our dreams, everything fell apart.” - Charles Thabang Mlangeni, brother of slain activist, Bheki Mlangeni who was assassinated in 1990. #ACoMlaunch
We should not forget that there are those in our midst for whom the simple act of getting up and going about the day's business is itself an act of courage.
Be it loss, physical pain, mental struggle, deprivation or abuse, there are many for whom kindness and grace is a lifeline
Don't let them shame you for your awareness; your commitment to acknowledging different people & fighting for their rights; your understanding that we walk different paths with unique challenges; your intersectionality; your hope for equality - it's magnificent.
Don't give up.
