Born female raised revolutionary To be born, is a revolutionary act, not only for females, but for every person of color. And for the mother to have melanin and get proper healthcare to carry to term, is a miracle. That is the 1st feat. The other is in the raising of the child. But the thing of it is, there is no handbook or blueprint that guides Parents in terms of the perfect way to bring up a child. It’s always been more of a challenge for us—all things being unequal. But then we inherited hardships in our culture. And some are doing the best that they can, with what they’ve been handed down. Quite a few of us are used to hand me downs. Some of these outfits are presented to us, torn, tattered, buttons missing, thread bare— and we’re expected to be grateful for their lack of protection over our young bodies— without the proper fit. Some of us were blessed enough to have those parents that were determined to give us newer or different garments of love and care. Because they wanted better for us, than how they were raised. And with each generation in my lineage, the garments had less and less rips. Showing a bit of fading in the fabric, yet still wearable due to the quality in the material. For me to still be here, is a revolution. To be able to use what was passed down—and take it for what it’s worth. And per Nikki Giovanni poem—repurpose it to a quilt. And that is quite revolutionary.

@Angella Kim-Mack 🙌🏽 thank you

@Tiara Nelson get out of here😳. So it’s a double entendre so to speak?

@Laron Henderson thank you so very much

Forgiveness fabricated false feelings of euphoria. Finding facts from family, forsaken—for fear the foretelling of falsehoods, wont be forgotten. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Antwion Shamar I appreciate that. Thank you.🙏🏽
