• Audre Lorde's Words About Silence

  “When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.”

• Important Side Note about Women of Color Organizations!!!

  We also understand that it may be difficult for some women of color to share their stories of violence and we respect their decision not to document the silence. We also understand that the coalition of women who are working on the be bold, be brave campaign are an ad hoc group dedicated to amplifying and making more visible the work that so many women of color organizations engage in daily to end violence against women of color.

   for Megan Williams and family:
   GO ‘ DEH!
   You are a precious African living woman!
   Thank the infinite source of LOVE that you are home and alive!!!
   I pray for your healing, that as you recover your life, you recognize your beautiful soul-power fully!
   That your spirit rise to the highest place you can attain while on earth and over come all illusions, for you did survive, you did live, and so you are full of life power! You are so much greater than the death they tried to make you eat: their self hatred.

   We are human beings.
   I affirm that We, Black women are key to creation’s survival, all are needed, bless Megan, and all the women silenced by those who’s fears, suffering, and ignorant rage at their own oppressors have been manipulated by those who are lost in greed. They work for the corporate supremacist heirarchy and do their bidding, lynching who the slave master points to as scape-goat target for the white underclass; while he himself goes free to plunder/pillage/rape them too, denying them life and voice as well and our Mother Earth.

   This is an example of humans kiling humans just to feel some sense of entitlement of “power over” in the heirarchy.
   We all have a choice as to what we do with our rage, what this monster system of wealthy overlords want?
   OR to make it count and OVERTHROW THE ILLUSIONS of coveting “power-over someone/ anyone” in our hearts/minds/bodies/hands and take back our collective power while we still have the mobility to do so.
