If you are white, today is a great time to reflect on the ways we can use our power and privilege to give space to Black and Brown leaders, and also reflect on our internalized white supremacy and commit to holding ourselves accountable for actions that harm Black and Brown people.

#Juneteenth
WHAT IS JUNETEENTH? Juneteenth is a special day in the United States when we remember and celebrate the freedom of African Americans who were once enslaved. On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Texas to make the announcement that would change the course of history. Juneteenth is now celebrated in many parts of the United States, honoring African-American culture. In 2021, the U.S. Congress made it an official federal holiday after the decades-long efforts of Lula Briggs Galloway, Opal Lee, and others.

A strong woman knows she has strength enough for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it is in the journey where she will become strong.

Donald trump is a white supremacist. Elon musk is a white supremacist. Anyone who associates with either of them are white supremacists.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are. -Maya Angelou

As my sufferings mounted, I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could RESPOND to my situation: either to REACT with bitterness or seek to TRANSFORM the suffering into a CREATIVE FORCE. I decided to follow the latter course. Dr. MLK

Tik Tok is gone and Marvel Snap is gone too. When the circus is gone and there’s still no bread, what do these fascists think is going to happen?

For the weird girl Burn your sage and speak your truth. The source extends through you. The masses live in fear, not seeking inner truth. You decided to be different and find what works for you, knowing life rewards those who find their soul’s truth. She is guided by her spirit. She communes with the stars at night. She sees God in all life and it expands her insight. She discovers new wisdom, seeing what others refuse to see. She denied a pass of fear to manifest in her realities. Continue to walk the path that ignite your soul. The world needs you now is free will was put on hold. Spiritual liberation is what you represent. To see God through your own eyes is a gift that was heaven sent. Divine is your soul. Your presence was made to be because you sparkle light that awakens humanity.

“No one else can fight your battles for you. In the end we all stand alone. So when it comes your time to stand front and center, raise your chin high, look everyone straight in the eye and know in your heart that you're up to the challenge.” Barbara Freethy

Audre Lorde Quote: “I cannot hide my anger to spare you guilt, nor answering anger; four to do so insults and trivializes all our efforts. Guilt is not a response to anger; it is a response to one’s own actions or lack of action.“

I will never forget the insurrection and attempted coup of our government by magats spurred on by trumpelthinskin. The future government may let them off the hook, but I won’t. May every act of violence they perpetrated be done unto them threefold. May they know the anguish and suffering we did.
During the arrests around the Capitol attack, police seized enough ammunition to shoot every member of the House and Senate five times.

“I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness-not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.” Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator, 1940
