Every day I get to think about how human connection looks, how it works, how it acts, how it shows up, how it brings us through and lifts us all up.

Love

Love is a verb. An action. To love is to fall, to dream, to dare, to hope, to have patience, to mess up, to extend forgiveness, to try and try again, to endure. There is no more powerful engine for the turning of the world than love.

I write for the person who needs to say to someone, “Just you, always you, only you.”

I write for love, perfect and imperfect.

I write for the person who says to someone, “You are my for always.”

Empowerment

I write for the women who say to their sisters, “Thank you for loving me like I love you. I dream for you, fight for you, hold you up to the world for your excellence and elegance, and love you down to your pettiest ways.”

I write for daughters and sons who say to their mothers, “Your gifts to me have been endless and priceless.”

I write for mothers who say to their daughters, “You are my living dream.”

community

As a Black woman, I write for my sisters.

I write for our bright shining future

I write for my Brothers to support their connection to other brothers.

And, I write for the people who love and stand with us.
