Never forget we are their hope. Never forget you come from a people of great strength. I am not ashamed. I know what my story is, where I am from. Where I begin... #1619Project #BornOnTheWater
Letter To The Free  - Common

Drums pulsing in their veins
With trembling fingers
They braided seeds into their hair
Defiantly hiding pieces of home
To plant one day in new soils
#1619Project #BornOnTheWater

The people planted the seeds they'd carried. Snuck to visit one another in the dark of night, sang songs, swapped tales, remembering, remembering. The people planted dreams and hopes. Willed themselves to keep living, living. #1619Project #BornOnTheWater

I don’t normally do these kinds of posts, but this book is an awesome gift for the holidays for any age. It took my breath away. #holidaygifts #EatMoreArt #BornOnTheWater
