My Pivot: Grappling With the Shadows

Y'all, I Gotta Bee Me!

So, I posted this video on Instagram.

I am pivoting because I am an artist. To me, therapy is art. I do not have to cite sources to sense that I am legit. Take me seriously, or don't. I know my Ancestors (Ase) stitched messages into quilts to find their way to freedom, as I do now. I know because it is sewn into the very fabric of my being. I know who I am because of the griots (Ase). Their sources are as valid as any study telling me how far my communities need to go. My Grandma T told me the story of her and my Grandpa T's trip across the US in 1950 to escape the South. She knew what I didn't then: that we are each other holders of the truth in our hearts. Our hearts know where to sew.

With Genuine Care,
