Obeisance

I  aspire to so much. I know that's an interesting way to start off a blog but I was just thinking about so many  advocates before me and quite frankly I  just want to take a moment to say I'm so blessed to  be apart of the movement. I am prideful that I have such a hard act to follow. Strong, humble hardworking people who have sacrificed just about everything is order to say something everyone else was afraid or too ignorant to acknowledge. People like Ida B. Wells who was one of the first   female African American muckrackers (journalist) I'm sure it's implied she was a feminist of her time and all the more fantastic in light of that. Or others like W.E. B. Du Bois and Medgar Evers, One who started the NAACP and and another who was a prominent member of the civil rights movement. I can only hope that  I can  impact others the way they impacted the people of their time. I'm not saying I want to DELIBERATELY be a martyr for the cause but because there are still such grave injustices out there if I bring them to attention and then happen to go with God in the process then I'm okay with that. Because if you're not willing to die for what matters to you then what's the point of living anyway. Unfortunately, suffering is everywhere but it is up to us and when I say "us" I mean those who are just about sick of being silent, Black,White, Hindu, Asian Sikh Everybody. it is up to us to decide whats worth suffering for and what steps we can take to minimize destruction all together.
