Happy MLK Day, Family

From my Mama-ancestor, Nina Simone…and a youngin’ who followed her, absolutely gettin’ that shit..

She was a staunch supporter of Martin with a voice and beliefs to prove it:

And then came Emeli…

I dedicate these two women’s songs to my Palestinian family — to show there are GENERATIONS who believe in that, for which you are fighting so damned hard. I stand with you.🇵🇸

P.S. I came across this vid and had to wonder if all these white children, whom Ron Desantis is trying to “protect,” even got what that song means to so many of us. If they didn’t, it sure as hayell looked like they did — cuz they killed it!:

We CAN be Family — if only we actually see each other as just that, rather than just an opportunity.
