18 years ago today I lost my sweet son, and a piece of my heart forever. Thankful for the 15 years we walked together on this earth & the eternity we will spend together on the other side. Missing him today more than usual.

My heart is so full. My beautiful friend brought me a bracelet engraved with my name “Joy” in Arabic (right to left) back from her trip to Kurdistan. It’s one of the most beautiful and thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received. 💗

“Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?” These questions raised by MLK in 1968 in Where Do We Go from Here? Chaos or Community seem as prescient today in 2025 as they were in 1968.
