My mother's abortion paved the way for her to be an incredible mother to me and my brother. My abortion did the same for my 2 children. I am able to be the mother I am bc of my abortion. Nothing but relief and gratitude here.

Be honest w/ kids. They can take it.

Bullies are bad.
Taking things, land, ppl, etc that arent yours is bad.

Goodnight.

That wasnt correct, You were wrong, Fix your mistake now please, etc.

I'm still processing it all. But I swear I'm not exaggerating. They asked those questions word for word. They want truth and they want justice. Racism is tought and silence is complicit.

palpable. And at the end they all hugged eached other and began brainstorming ways to bring more equality into the ballet world. Not one of them left feeling like I had insulted them as white ppl. Granted ballet dancers are trained from a young age to be accepting of being told That isn't correct...
