Not Going Back!

We went to see the film, “Hidden Figures” today as a family. I am inspired! My spirit is renewed! I have hope for our future in spite of or maybe because of the stance we are in as a result of this election process! I remembered who I was! I remembered who my parents and grandparents were! We went to see the film in our own neighborhood at the Baldwin Hills Theater! I could not have seen this film in any other theater! I was home! I was among my people and even more important, I was in the midst of my elders on this plane and the heavenly plane. I could feel their blood running through my veins to the point that at times my body felt a vibration! I shouted out, “I am not going back! Been there! Done that! And that is that!” This is a film that is so timely and relevant to all people that understand and stand for justice, equality, and dignity of the human soul! We must move forward! We must remember the sacrifices that were made for us and for generations to come! This film is given to us in the most perfect time! I am excited to rise up to the challenges we will face, but I will never let anyone steal my sense of dignity, intelligence, spiritual strength, compassion and moral judgment that would cause me to accept being less than God ordained me to be! And this is what I will instill in my child and support other children and youth to do!

More thoughts and actions to come!
