I could write about how much rage and anger I felt in regards to the seminars where I learned more about the twin span attempt by the Moroun family or the lazy, fat, poor black person who wants everything in this world for free including water.

Moving forward has only made me colder and more desensitized to the world I try my best to exist in as a kind and warmhearted being. So I will continue to practice social awareness and activism but I will also practice self-love because as a Black Girl self-love is NEVER taught.
