If you were ever looking for a sign, here it is 🍵 🌊👘⛩🧮
Sometimes all there is to do is to receive
I made these months ago.....now feel compelled to 👁👁 all proceeds {after shipping} go to @blackresiliencefund ‘s Juneteenth event. It’s crazy to imagine THE DAY on which your bondage and the bondage and suffering and murders of your ancestors came to an End—or at least the news of liberation started to spread slowly (Texas was the most remote slave state, by far and still is the largest state (in area) was the last to get the news). What about THE person who was the Final to be freed? What does it mean when A surviving single story has to be a placeholder for thousands fallen away.... It must have been(be) so intense on any and all levels—people in instant liberation ❤️ Jubilee Liberation freedom dignity humanity requires cemented celebration and learning and commitment to memory. Liberation is one way to ascend and a clear sign of healing. If my living Japanese American family got $20,000 each in 1988 <Yes, Regan> for being imprisoned w/o charge (WWII Internment) 45 years after the 4-year false imprisonment happened & if this country can build WORLD 🌎 class museums and put literally millions into education curriculums art film and support for Holocaust Remembrance Day events, then the US needs to step it the EFF ❤️😭🤍🌈🤙🏾 up and officially recognize acknowledge w an authentic national apology for human atrocities compensate support fund affirm protect educate around June 19th according to what people say they want. No, will never “be enough.” accept that and do your best. it doesn’t take just one thing. You need it all. Give it a Day. 💕🌈🤙🏾👂🏽🦋🌹🤍👁👁🎶🥺😭😭 🌞

Shout out to the anniversary of #lovingday. beautiful things happen when folks from disparate places meet and ❤️🤍 #hapas and #mixedrace and #mestizos etc etc are 🌞👩🏻⭐️❤️💞🌈 shout out to my great grandparents from 🇵🇱 and 🇯🇵 circa 1900. 🙌🏾👐🏽 and my 💞🧩💞🧩 Ma and Da! “Seeing color” and still supporting fully without its consideration just on human level are not mutually exclusive. 🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬💕💕🧩🧩 Segregation enforced laws and did violence against any indication of love between races of any kind was Nearly eliminated bc they didn’t want 🤍 and 🖤 to learn and love not hate and fear🗣🗣 therefore, ergo, one reason why it took so long to legally affirm interracial marriage (love, not abuse!) was BECAUSE it was known the children (sadly treated poorly/internalized shame/social stigma) would be THE Ambassadors and the mix of water and dust alike (you need both!) to make the CEMENT to build a new society ! #hapapride #hapasforblacklivesmatter
