Whatever you describe to another person is also a revelation of who you are and who you think you are. You cannot describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything.

Two men died today. If they had died in the era before social media. The colonizer would be sanitized while the Rapper would have been dehumanized. Social media might have its ills but reducing the chokehold media conglomerates have on telling stories, news, the truth is a win.

Jazz singer Billie Holiday was born today (April 7) in 1915. “I don’t sing novelty. The things that I sing have to have something to do with me—my life, my friends’ lives. It has to have a meaning.” 🌺

Idk why but this is on my mind and I wanna say it.
Storytelling is ABSOLUTELY a form of activism. It’s using your voice. It impacts people’s lives. It creates discussion and leads to change.
Storytellers are activists and don’t let anyone tell you different. Stories matter.
