old photo, but a good one 🦋 lately I’ve been thinking about how grateful I am for all the powerful wild women in this life time that lead take up space guide their generation scribble outside the lines ask for what they need remind people they are still speaking use their voice speak up all the way up lead a film or television set negotiate with their children have fun sip in the moments of life fall in and out of love honour their journey honour their ancestors grateful for all the women Wild. Messy. Present.
The reason no one can ever find the words, is because there are no words that anyone can string together to truly encapsulate the years of systematic oppression and violence upon Black lives. There are no words that can get down to the core of the subtleties of the Black experience. Language will continue to fail to express the trauma we are currently facing and have faced for decades upon decades. Regardless, we must try anyways. We must use our voice, anyways. Cement our experiences into history. On May 30th 2020, I marched with my Toronto Community. We marched for Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Tony McDade, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Sandra Bland, all Black lives across North America. Yes, we are fighting against police brutality, but we are also fighting for the world to recognize the value of Black Lives. We chanted, we screamed, we played music, we danced, we cried. We unified and will continue to unify even after the protesting has simmered. We are awakened. We are coming into our power. We are standing in our power. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to @notanotherblacklife for organizing a space for all to grieve but also to feel uplifted by the energy. Thank you to the leaders of the Black communities stretching from Toronto, Montreal, Minneapolis, LA, Houston, all over. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To all the Black Women and men that exist on this earth. I love you. Stay safe and please always find ways to rest and take care of your mental health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Note: These are not generic photos, these are photos that I took while protesting in Toronto. It’s come to my attention that some white people are sharing my photos and pretending to be part of the protest. This is wrong, give credit, and stop erasing Black Women from the movement.

that’s the beauty of great art, you can touch and effect people you’ve never met … may we tread lightly and be kind to one another we are all fighting battles we don’t speak on … grateful for all the artists that take up space living and transitioned

“Humo sum, humani nihil a me alienum Pluto.” – Publius Terentius Afer, 170BC Translate: I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me. “I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me.” …When you look at this statement tonight, in your encyclopedia, under Terence (one “r”), you will find besides his name in italics is “Terentius Afer.” He was an African. He was a slave. He was sold to a Roman senator. The senator freed him. He became the most popular playwright in Rome… “I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me.” My Lord! That statement is liberating! It not only liberates me from other people’s ignorance, it liberates me from my own […] you can try to stretch, stretch, stretch yourself so you can internalize, ‘Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto. I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me.’ That’s one thing I’m learning.” – Maya Angelou ・・・ #Repost @cartermagazine
