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.

Wildest Dream

I will be in GRAD School - one of my wildest dreams!

I will make my momma and daddy proud!

I will inspire my kids!

I will be growing into the woman I have allowed to lie dormant for too long.

I am excited!

I am afraid!

I am confident!

I am ready!

I am the daughter of Africans.

I am the daughter of enslaved people.

I am the daughter of sharecroppers.

I am the daughter of free people.

I am the daughter of the future.

I am my ancestors’ wildest dream!
