Wed Feb 26, 2025by raksha on TwosWas totally embodying that Audre Lorde quote about speaking up today. Well, several of them actually. "When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.” And “I have a duty to speak the truth as I see it and share not just my triumphs, not just the things that felt good, but the pain. The intense, often unmitigated pain. It is important to share how I know survival is survival and not just a walk through the rain." And“When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed, but when we are silent we are still afraid, so it is better to speak."And also this by Zora Neale Hurston: "If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it." Proud of myself.
