We need stillness! Being so quick To react and slow to strategize has never helped us. I’m also not in the mood for convening after convening!

Ain’t it about time we recognize that Black communities deserve more than to be sidelined in coalition spaces where our issues are often overshadowed in the name of intersectionality? We need authentic support that centers our voices and addresses our specific needs directly.
