I know. It’s hard, but our ancestors have us. Let them remind you how great you are.
Surviving something whether it be wars, migration and violence doesn’t always feel like a source of power. It is often a source of deep vulnerability and loneliness.
Give yourself time and space to feel it all. It’s important you survived. Your survival lays the foundation for the next generation’s survival. #freedomportals
"'The story of Black Lives Matter, for me, starts with the very first raid experience as a 5 or 6 year old in Van Nuys, California. Black Lives Matter is in some ways the climax of my life, but isn't the end all be all. I think it's important for people to know we have been fighting for a long time. I'm 34 years old. I have been in movement work since I was 16 years old. Black Lives Matter has become an important part of the story, but it's not the only part of the story'" Read more on the @mashable website!! #BLM #blacklivesmatter #ABLMmemoir #BlackCommunity
