It brought to mind Octavia Butler and the pain and terror of saying goodbye to ourselves, but the absolute necessity of doing so. The peril of refusing to change, refusing to risk what comes, refusing to stand… It is worse than death.
I don’t want to personalize it, because your experience and existence as a Black woman is not mine. But what a lovely, breathtaking, bold piece 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!
Thank you.
I didn’t breathe once while reading.
