"Do not believe that your anger has to be polite. That you need to be liked. They tell you how “proper” women should interact & react. That anger is mere emotion. As if anger has not changed laws, as if anger is notneeded to disrupt what hurts us. As if anger cannot be righteous." — Ijeoma Umebinyuo @theijeoma

…and I see a lot alike despising the very people who sacrificed and still sacrifice their life to make *who they think they are*.The irony of LIFE.May we not become them…..

I haven’t come across a collection of poetry that moved me as much as Questions for Ada by @theijeoma in ages. Go read it.

“….it hasn’t been easy. You imperfect miracle. You wild flower. You strange absolutely gorgeous creature. It hasn’t been easy has it? You, wild flowered child. Plant you anywhere, you still bloom. Throw you into the ocean, you learn to swim against the tide.”

Hurray! My copies of @theijeoma, @sarcolinedream, and @thedesertsighs‘ books arrived! I can’t wait to dive in and read Questions for Ada and You Are The Map for #readwomen in December.
