Dear Mona, there’s a part in Questlove’s movie Summer of Soul where Nina Simone reads a Black revolutionary poem to Black people asking them “Are you ready?…Are you ready to kill?” Words that make white oppressors very uncomfortable. We have our own morality police here. It took over fifty years for that message to air publicly.
And Viola Davis lights 🔥 up the screen in The Woman King.
As our dear prophet Audre Lorde said “Women are powerful & dangerous.” Glad you’ve claimed your power/ shaved your head / given women permission to ditch their hijabs.
Screaming Jin Jiyan Azadi/Women Life Liberty!
In solidarity,
As Dr. Cornell West says- Justice is what love looks like in public.
Love ❤️ and Justice this Libra ♎️ Szn to all who celebrate smashing the white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy (Rest in power bell hooks)
Great! Love
Thank you Mona. Woman, Life, Liberty!
Love and solidarity! And thank you for supporting my work.
My pleasure. A note: I think the word Woman in Kurdish is Jan or Jen. This is what we are hearing in the protests.
I corrected it. I had it right on Instagram and mangled it here! Thank you
Thank you I will fix it
