Telling complex stories for unheard voices. The great Danai Gurira on PBS NewsHour.

I am crying.

I got chills when he started explaining the inaugural walk. Like, they had us watching it in high school and we made jokes about how it would be fucked up if he was shot right then & there but I never realized how completely real that actually is. They can build us up so much just to take that one glimmer of hope from us.

Dear Black People,

We do not owe anyone an explanation for our anger.

Or existence

Or appearance

Or resistance

Or resilience

or excellence

Or self-love
