“Revolution begins with the self, in the self…It may be lonely. Certainly painful. It’ll take time. We’ve got time...Not all speed is movement.” - Toni Cade Bambara
This is beautiful, and I love the different phrases. From all walks of life, being a Black woman has been synonymous with taking everyone’s issues and fixing them. No more!
I'm gutted that you can only give one clap on this platform! I really enjoyed this. What you said at the start is very true, and reminded me of something that Zora Neale Hurston also said-- "If you stay quiet they'll kill you and think you enjoyed it." Food for thought. Often times our strength can be the downfall too.
Please don’t forget us broke white beyotch Ed that are liberal marginalized freaks who are struggling & in poverty, as well. I hope 🤞 we can be Sisters, too.💞💟
Hi! I missed this powerful comment. I really was hoping to connect directly with my sisters through the piece. I am so happy it brought you a little piece if the healing that we need and deserve right now.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and your patience with my response!
It’s so hard for me to do anything since 2016/2017, really. Can’t function hardly in society bc of what’s happening..it’s so sad. I have black family, black friends, gay & trans friends-& my daughter is a weirdo at her school…feel so alone sometimes around these MAGAs. Love your post, tho. I felt your words, too. Strong 💪 beautiful Sisters, we have to survive this Dark Night, & make it until the Dawn.

Agree completely. The strong black woman ideal definitely weakens us. So grateful for you r love! And I love that quote. Zora did not play.
No, she certainly did not! I do really love Zora. Keep well.
This is precisely what I needed to read this morning. Thank you!
You are so welcome! That warms my heart.
