It is Black History Month! Dare to live in all of your BLACKNESS! 

 

I’ve always looked forward to Black History month. I dare to dream that Black History month will shift to a daily celebration in the near future.

 

A celebration that exists in spite of persons threatened by our skin color, our brilliance, and our perfectly built bodies.

A celebration that exists even in the lack of getting a livable wage, securing affordable healthcare for all, and the unnecessary stereotyping of persons of African descent.

A celebration filled with music, movement, joy, dancing, singing, chanting, and smiling.

 

As you celebrate this month, be reminded of our ancestors that have shared their talents in this world. Reflect and write down your gifts. Share your stories with the next generation. Share history, herstory, and theirstory.  Your story matters.
