Alicia Garza

Alicia Garza Instagram – When I opened my eyes this morning, I awoke to the news that the amazing @cecilerichards passed away. My heart is broken — for her family, for our movement, and our country. There’s not enough words to describe who we’ve lost. Cecile taught me how to fight, how to walk talk and believe that we deserve it all. That women are the past present and future of this world. She was consistently raising the stakes and raising the bar. I was always glad to talk with her, collaborate with her, share a meal with her, discuss our mutual love of New Orleans and jazz, talk movement with her, have my eyes be opened by her, all of it. She was a legend in our midst and she never once fukin acted like it. Cecile your strength is an inspiration to us all. We gonna raise the bar in your honor — and on this shitty day where we lost you and gained an uncertain future, I’m clearer than ever about what we need to do. Thank you sister. You will absolutely be missed but I promise your legacy will never ever die. | Posted on 20/Jan/2025 21:00:11
