A really moving read thanks Toya!

I too can't help think of the timeless words of the one and only late Mother Maya:

"Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances. You are a child of God. Stand up straight."

"The Black child must learn early to allow laughter to fill his mouth or the million small cruelties he encounters will congeal and clog his throat."

Love and Blessings,
