👏 👏 👏 These words right here. We stand with you Takara. 🖤 @fit4momhonolulu #sisterhoodinmotherhood #blacklivesmatter ・・・ 💖 M O T H E R H O O D / / I’ve been thinking about the mothers of #ahmaudarbery #georgefloyd and #breonnataylor and grieving for them. I imagine their mamas smiling with joy, looking in their eyes, tracing their faces, watching them sleep and holding them closely to smell their sweet baby scent. I imagine their mothers watching them grow, crawl, take wobbly steps and assert their independence. I imagine their moms hugging them, teaching them survival skills, and having essential TALKS about blackness- for survival. When I first learned I was having a boy, I was full of excitement and a lot of fear. I knew that the child growing in my womb, would one day have to face the sobering reality of his inherited blackness, from me. A blackness that sometimes causes fear, mistreatment, misunderstanding, guilt, mistrust and quite possibly death. As a Black mother, I know that one day, my baby boy will be a grown Black man (with a lighter hue, but a Black man nonetheless) and with that comes a huge weight he must carry as he navigates through life. What’s happening right now, and what has happened to my brothers and sisters is WRONG. Please teach your kids how to treat others. Befriend moms and kids who look different than you. Teach them how to love. Guide them on how to deal with fear. Correct them when they are treating other kids unfairly. And, check your gut. If this post annoys you ask yourself why. This is about compassion and empathy. Do you have it? #unitedinmotherhood #blacklivesmatter #FIT4MOM “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”- MLK Jr.
