Late post: I’m glad I got a chance to stop by 2 Late post: I’m glad I got a chance to stop by 2 Street this past weekend. It’s good to see friends, network, hear live music and eat food for the soul. I’m excited for Shane at @southernkitchen_rva because not only is her restaurant bomb, but she is opening another location @thedeuce_rva. Im excited to see God’s glory in other peoples lives. Now I’m recharged for the week! Let’s go….
So years ago, in 2nd grade I remember a white frie So years ago, in 2nd grade I remember a white friend invited me to her birthday party and when I came her father didn’t want me there, then I remember in Va Beach in 1989 seeing a black woman being assaulted by police officers during beach week, I remember being shackled to a bed after I gave birth to my son b/c Norfolk Federal court wouldn’t grant me a bond, then being sentenced to 24.5 years, then after my incarceration, I couldn’t vote in Virginia until 12 years after my release. During these times, I remember the hurt and confusion I felt. Believing in my faith, trusting God’s plan and having many supporters, I began to know my own worth and understand how I needed to be the change I wanted to see. Living in Richmond, everyone knew the grand houses on Monument Ave were a representation of Richmond’s white elite and "old money", but I didn’t understand the symbolism of the statutes and what old money meant until later in life. Virginia has deep roots of racial injustice and even though today is merely a step towards reconciliation, it’s a big one. Im sure some of our ancestors are rejoicing. I am rejoicing and grateful to Gov. Northam and all those who have helped to educate him. My fellow, Virginians, we are living in some uncertain times, we can not only merely be grateful and rejoice in this symbolic victory. We have to carry this energy with us to the polls in November. The first day of early voting is next Friday, Sept. 17. Make sure you are ready to GOTV! #BeTheChange #WeThePeople
