There continues to be movement in America for civil unrest. Why am I now a part of this movement or have I always been?
In wake of George Floyd’s death I kept asking myself why now? Is it because he called out for his momma that ignited a spark for me to speak out? Was it the many lay offs in lieu of Covid-19? Or was it the day after day protest I woke up to every time I turned on the television? Nope, I have always been a part of the civil movement. Every time I came home crying to my mother about how unfair I felt I was being treated by someone at work and she gave me my pep talk to keep going that was movement. It was having my children and wanting to teach them a good work ethic regardless of how hard or how bad I thought things were, that was movement. It was me yelling to my patient husband how unfair life is and there’s nothing we can do about it! And him telling me you are doing something you just don’t realize it. Movement has many ways of revealing underlining problems, everyone has their own way of how they want to bring awareness to the issues. So when I think today and ask myself why am I now wanting to create movement, I sit back and say to myself
” YOU ALREADY HAVE BEEN”
