Ayanna Pressley Instagram – Zora Neal Hurston once said, “Those that don’t got it, can’t show it. Those that got it, can’t hide it.” This is my Sister In Law, Ieasha James, aka SIL. My Mother in Law calls her “Divine” because, well, she is. Happy Birthday Week to my beloved SIL .
Truly, words can never fully express the depth of my love, respect, gratitude, and admiration for you. You are the most generous, selfless person I know. Thank you for being generous with your love and your many creative and artistic gifts. Thank you for all the ways (big and bigger) that you show up for me, our family, and the community.
I love our kitchen conversations, which seem to never end. I love that you are genuinely curious about people and the world. I love that you share the same celebrity crushes, stay ready to play a game (Christian is so lucky), or to line dance, I love that cat reels make you smile.
I applaud your transparency in your healing journey, and I admire the strength of your faith and how you practice it with the boldness of your life choices and pursuits.
Your standard for excellence is unparalleled. You love hard, work hard, pray even harder, and create magic. Thank you for majestic, elegant, and safe space(s). There are people working actively to depress our imaginations, steal our joy, and deny our beauty.
SIL, your contributions matter greatly in the broader movement and work for change. There can be no revolution without art. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a divine masterpiece. ILUKK, @iamieashajames! | Posted on 25/Feb/2025 11:52:20
