Free Palestine. Free Congo. Free Sudan. All power to all the people.
I wrote this poem a year ago while protesting and processing my anger. In the midst of ongoing genocides and American complicity, I hope it invigorates you as much as it motivates me.

I went to a workshop led by @tinovhjr where he asked where are the places where we don’t feel safe and what do we need to feel safe. In thinking about all of the catcalls I’ve been experiencing recently, I realized the wildest parts of me kept me the most safe in spaces where my smiles are taken wrongly as invitations.
This is a little draft of a poem I wrote about it. Also, there’s a lot of cursing in this one, in case that’s not your vibe💜
Happy Melanated March and Women’s History Month
