WHEN I FIRST MET YOU, IT WAS AT A MOTHER’S 2 MOTHER EVENT AND IT WAS YOU AND MARLO, CHRISTIE, AMY, AND TWO OTHER WOMEN I DON’T RECALL ON THE STAGE AND YOU WERE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH WHITE WOMEN AND MEN ABOUT “THE TALK” WITH YOUR BLACK SONS. I WAS MOVED BY YOU AND MARLO BECAUSE YOU WERE RAW, INTENTIONAL, BRUTAL, CONFRONTATIONAL AND REAL AND I NEEDED AND APPRECIATED THAT.
YET, HOW MANY YEARS LATER THEY HAVE SHOW US THAT THEY KNOW, THE UNDERSTAND, THEY JUST DON’T HAVE TO CARE NOR FEEL OUR PAIN AND ANGUISH OVER THE “NEVER NOT KNOWING HOW OR WHEN” WE BLACK WOMEN WILL GET THAT GUT WRENCHING KNOCK ON THE DOOR TO FOLLOW THEM TO IDENTIFY THE BODY OF OUR CHLDREN.
THEY HAVE NEVER HAD TO BE COMPSSIONATE
THEY HAVE NEVER HAD TO CARE.
THEY HAVE NEVER HAD TO BE EMPATHETIC.
THEY HAVE NEVER HAD TO BE SYMPATHETIC.
THEY HAVE NEVER HAD TO BE HUMANE.
YET, YOU WERE NEVER INTIMIDATED
YET, YOU WERE NEVER WEAK
YET, YOU WERE NEVER DISCOMBOBULATED
YET, YOU NEVER CONSIDERED VIOLENCE, VENOMOUS AND VICTIMIZATION
YOU WERE AND ARE A DOTING MOTHER
YOUR MOTHER WAS AN EDUCATOR
YORU MOTHER TAUGHT DANCE
YOUR MOTHER: CHACHA SLID, BOOGIED DOWN, DID THE WALTZ, SHE EXPRESSED HERSELF IN THE MOST ECCLECTIC MANNER POSSIBLE AS LONG AS MUSIC WAS AVAIALBE, SHE DANCED, SHE MOTIONED SHE HEALED THROUGH THE RYTHM, BEAT, AND CRESCENDOS (THAT LOUDEST NOTE OF HER LAST BREATHE) WAS SOMETHNG YOU DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR BUT NEW EVENTUALLY YOU WOULD
YET, YOUR MOM WAS A DANCE INSTRUCTOR
HER DAUGHTER IS AN INSTRUCTOR OF THE YOUNG IMPRESSIONABLE MINDS
HER GRANDCHILDREN ARE INSTRUCTORS OF THE MENTALLY FRAIL, AND HER HER GRANDSONS TAUGHT THAT THEY ARE HIGHLY EDUCATED, HIGHLY GIFTED, HIGHLY SKILLED AND HIGHLY SUPERIOR IN THAT WHICH THEY DO
YOU ALL GOT IT FROM THE WOMA HERSELF, THE DIVA, DIVA, DIVA, DIVA!
MOTHER 2 MOTHER!

“You cannot serve people by giving them orders as to what to do. The real servant of the people must live among them, think with them, feel for them, and die for them…The servant of the people, unlike the leader, is not on a high horse trying to carry the people to some designated point to which he would like to go for his own advantage. The servant of the people is down among them, living as they live, doing what they do and enjoying what they enjoy. He may be a little better informed than some of the other members of the group; it may be that he as had some experience they have not had, but in spite of this advantage he should have more humility than those whom he serves.” Dr.
