WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 11

Wednesday, March 20, 2024

“I respect you as so much bigger than my own understanding. And me too. I don’t have to be available to be eligible for breath. I don’t have to be measurable in a market of memes. I don’t have to be visible to be viable on my path. I don’t have to be shy to be sacred about my time. There are only two things I have to do, my mom taught me, and I can do them in the company of my choosing. The company of myself, my living, my dead, my folks, my dreams. 1. Stay Black. 2. Breathe.” – Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals
