An Ode To Black Women

It's February y'all! You know what that means...Happy Black History Month!  This year's theme is "Black Resistance". The ASALH states, "African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms, and police killings since our arrival upon these shores".  As an African American, I am proud of my heritage and the profound resilience of my people. This month I hope that we all will take some time to remember and honor the ancestors who thought it not robbery to pave the way for us. Below is an excerpt from a poem that I wrote in 2015; it is a small reminder that we must continue to resist and endorse antiracism to create a more just society. 

Well, truth be told, it's been about 8 months since I've last blogged but, we aren't going to talk about that *sips tea with no shame attached*🍵.
