This woman is reading
aloud
to her children,
after working a 10-hour day.
This woman is a warrior.
She is on a mission of
wisdom, knowing deep in her
battered and dazzling soul,
that there’s no better way
to teach them
about the world, about
how to stand up and
how speak out,
how to engage
how to help and
how to fight for
what they know
is right, and
how to know
what is right.
“Imagine,” she says to them,
without saying the words.
“Imagine how all of our
voices coming together
could lift us up, and
break us out. Now
that will be a story
worth telling.”
