Hey Sunshines!
How are you spending your Saturday? I woke up thinking about all the beautiful people in my life and how I am proud to be black. I also thought about my own shiftless behavior. I don’t ever want to get comfortable again. I want the fire in me to keep burning so that future generations don’t have to be in a world where they are harassed and murdered because of the color of their skin. I will make sure to keep myself educated along with practicing self care. I don’t claim to be super, black women already carry enough. My activism may not look like yours but that’s just goes to show how multifaceted we are as a people. We all have a part to play and something to give. What are you doing to keep the fire in you burning?
YES! So true! and understandable. I feel the same way. I feel like when I was in college, I felt more radical and ready to become a human shield. Grower older and wiser has definitely changed my thinking. I wanna be the change but not die trying. 🤪
I feel like the fire for me has been going for a while but my son has made it bigger. My activism doesn’t look the same anymore because I can’t just get locked up for three days when there’s someone who breastfeeds at home but I try to contribute to the cause financially now.
