Your colour is purple: On Self-esteem

The Colour of Low Self Esteem Poem by Nayyirah Waheed

To a dear friend hurting today. Surely you’re worthy. Surely our value is yours to own. Surely we share a loving space. Your colour is purple and pleading. Mirror, mirror, she is listening. ⁣

⁣We all might’ve tried. But we can’t impress them into seeing us. We can’t convince them of our sacred breath. Desire is an illusion. It does not reciprocate. It does not feel. It does not fulfill. Only you can do that. I love you.⁣

Grace,

💜💜💜

Ode to Darfur: I move for Sudan

Today I celebrate my brothers legacy. He reminded me before he ascended that I should leave my legacy of Grace before I go. Thank you little bro for that burning reminder.⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣I digress…⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣Met a beautiful group of Sudanese Afrikan refugees today. They shared stories of the home they left behind, happy times, culture, language now plagued with oppression, genocide, violence. I move for Darfur. I resist for Darfur. Sending healing through dance to uplift in spirit and body. For ancestors songs! ⁣

⁣In love and respect,

Gracie

Still I Can Smell the Cesspool

Ancestors, we are winning despite how things may appear or feel. That our disappointments must be the source of our inspiration. That our lives are not defined by the problems we face.⁣

Still I can smell the cesspool. All this really stinks. Thick air. Children in cages. Women groomed as little girls to never tell. Holding her brothers box of ashes with bare hands. White folk moving into the only hoods our black skin ever touched. ⁣

⁣No time. No space for us to grasp or grip or grieve, yet we breathe, we hold you in high regard. Always. We know your truth leads our way. Rest in love and light to all those that have surrendered their breath. Thank you for this bit of peace you left behind. ⁣

This mercury in retrograde is happening during eclipse season y’all through the end of July. A thought, go slow, go inward. Align all your faculties with matters of the heart. Maintain healthy boundaries. Be your truth!
