hard pill to swallow as an adult:
at some point, you will have to disappoint others in order to live a life that’s true to you. people-pleasing won’t get you far. you have the right to set boundaries and choose what brings you peace. you are allowed to disappoint other people & still be a good person.
Black Men deserve to grow old.
Black Men deserve to be kept safe.
Black Men deserve to be free.
Black Men deserve to be held.
Black Men deserve to be protected.
Black Men deserve more.
