TAKE A STAND - teaser

Sister, when you feel the weight of what it means to be a woman crush your tired bones, just remember, you were built to sustain the pain. Your holy back is kept upright by your sisters who’ve passed, the ones who’s spines have cracked by constant suppression and attacks. I’ll hold your hand at night as we march the climb to a land where freedom is our birthright. You can hear our future sisters sing like songbirds, no longer confined by the narrow cages of a man’s mind. I’ll kiss your tears, through it all I’m here. I’m here. I’m here.
