Writing can be a lifeline, especially when your existence has been denied, especially when you have been left on the margins, especially when your life and process of growth have been subjected to attempts at strangulation.

Sista, Be Free

Come close so you can hear me.
You’ve endured for too long.

The time has finally come to shed the shackles.

No more shrinking.
No more hiding.
No more playing safe.
No more accepting abuse.
No more lying to ourselves.
No more ignoring the pain.

It’s time for you to be free to…..


Bask, Believe, Breathe, Cry
Dance, Desire, Educate, Feel
Give, Grow, Hope, Laugh
Live, Love, March, Meditate
Mourn, Pivot, Pray, Protest, Purify
Read, Receive, Reflect, Reject
Release, Rest, Restart, Run
Sage, Scream, Serve, Sleep
Speak, Support, Transform, Transition
Travel, Weep, Write

Go forth and be free.
