We want peace, we say we want peace but what does that really mean? I'm using this space to openly vent and create instead of taking my anger to the streets.
In order for us to create peace we need to start within ourselves. I don't believe this means not taking action but learning to be assertive, using our words, being strategic, uniting and realizing this movement (if you agree to be a part of it) is not about us as individuals but US as a community. What affects YOU affects ME!
I am angry at the decision of releasing GZ without so much as a slap on the wrist for taking the life of a young man who, in now way, deserved it. We already know the details so there's no need for me to go into them. It made me think about the value of a single life, my life. I am still here but am I living or am I allowing someone else to pull my strings? Have I just become a puppet to these worlds of Hell, Anger and Animality? Am I allowing the obstacles and challenges I face to tear me down, using my anger and frustration as an excuse to cause more violence??? Have I silenced My own voice?!
That's what it has felt like. But the journey is not over and my campaign to win has not ended. This violence towards our community is happening all over the country and we MUST stand up in our own way. Take lead in our own lives to make change. I sit here questioning how can I make change. One way is to never silence myself, use my creativity to spark more conversations and empower my people.
I want women to feel empowered! We carry the world in our womb and it is our responsibility to help protect it. I want to help women have a space to build healthy relationships with other women who have shared their struggle, build a communal space where we can grow and become strong. Create a space where women can express their anger, their fears, their confusion, their victories!
I AM USING MY ANGER CREATIVELY BY SHARING MY LIFE AND CREATING A SPACE TO UNITE WOMEN!
