I really need to hug you when I want to hug you as you like to hug me. Does this sound like a silly poem? I mean, it's my house and I want to fry pork chops and bake sweet potatoes and call them yams because I run the kitchen and I can stand the heat. I spent all winter in carpet stores gathering patches as I could so I could make a quilt. Does this really sound like a silly poem?

But it's really having those aunts and women, and people just say, oh, no, you identify as this as such, and you're proud of the skin and the person that you were created to be. So, yeah, I think when you it shouldn't be shocking. People get more on the offensive side when you kind of say, no, this is what we're not doing

I mean, skin colors and textures of hair because I've seen beautiful hairstyles in any texture of hair. And I think I heard where an Asian male hairdresser said that black hair is the best hair ever to style. Because our hair is so versatile, anything can basically be done with it. We can straighten it, we can leave it as it is, we can braid it

And as I'm leaving this response to your thread, I realized I don't even know where that book is. Anyway, I was so elated to be able to be in that number and I was able to get there early enough to be in the front row and just to bask in her presence, her energies, wisdom, the way has she read poems and just talked about life with us. I will never forget that moment. Never forget that moment
