TO MY siSTARS AND KINDRED I BRING YOU GREETINGS AND THE BLESSINGS OF THE MOST HIGH~

I HAVE BEEN, INTENTIONALLY, SILENT THESE PAST FEW MONTHS, WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO INSPIRE ME, MOTIVATE ME, BACK TO THE THE TOPICS AND ISSUES WHICH ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME..... TO US....

IN THIS ABSENCE, I HAVE FOUND THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING UN-NECESSARILY. THE, HONEST, TRUTH IS, THE VERY THINGS WHICH DRIVE ME/ENRAGE ME/ FUEL MY PASSIONS, ARE ALL AROUND ME. THERE ARE DAILY REMINDERS OF THE ATROCITIES BEFALLING WOMEN. THERE HAS BEEN NO NEED FOR MY SILENCE/ ABSENCE, ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT I FOUND MYSELF IN A PLACE OF HELPLESSNESS. I MUST SAY I FOUND MYSELF IN A PLACE OF SELF PITTY. IN THE WORLD, IN WHICH I RESIDE, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM FOR THAT MINDST. FOR MY SILENCE, MY INABILITY TO FIND THE STRENGTH IN MY OWN VOICE, I AM DEEPLY SORRY...

WE (AS WOMEN) MUST DIG DEEPER AND DRAW FROM WELLS OF STRENGH, WHICH WE BELIEVED HAD BEEN DEPLETED, IN ORDER TO CREATE ENVIORNMENTS WHICH WILL SUSTAIN, NOT ONLY OURSELVES BUT OUR DAUGHTERS AND ENDOW THEM WITH ENTITLEMENTS WHICH DO NOT MAKE THEM (OR THEIR WOMBS) COMMODITIES. WE, HAVE ENDURED THE TOURTURES AND BORN THE BRUNT OF HISTORYS RESENTMENTS. WE HAVE GROWN IN THE HOPE OF THE PRESENTS WORK. NOW, WE MUST CELEBRATE IN THE LIGHT OF THE FUTURES PROMISE. WE MUST WORK, LIVE AND LOVE HARDER THAN EVER IMAGINED, IF WE ARE TO GIVE BIRTH TO AND NURTURE THE HOPE WHICH WAS BESTOWED UPON US AT OUR CREATION.

IT IS MY MOST SINCERE AMBITION TO CREATE A SPACE IN OUR LIVES (BEGINNING WTH ME) WHERE BY WE CAN FIND THE MEETING GROUND AND BUILD A NETWORK OF STRENGTH FROM WHICH TO BEGIN THIS JOURNEY....
