That history isn’t ancient; it’s a legacy that still echoes. So, the next time someone says to "get over it," I’d ask them to think twice. Our resilience comes from generations who endured unimaginable pain and yet kept going. Think that one through. #triggerthumb

Some folks say, "Get over slavery; it was so long ago." But imagine having to work through the worst pain you've ever felt—broken bones, crushed fingers, relentless injuries—all with zero pay, under constant threat of violence and cruelty.

I woke up today thinking about this trigger thumb I’ve been dealing with for weeks, maybe it’s from my autoimmune issues, maybe from repetitive use, or a bit of both. And I can’t help but reflect on my ancestors.
