"You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lines. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I'll rise." When I created Mama's Watching: Maya Angelou back in 2015 at the height of the killing of black lives and wondering what would she say. What words of wisdom would she impart with the public lynching of black lives. Especially in times like this I wonder what would she say. I believe that this right here is our time in history is our 'Rising Moment' over the continued oppression of our people. We are defining history, changing our narrative and making our ancestors proud. #mamaswatching #mayaangelou #shopapanaki #apanakitemitayom #blackicons #blackartmatters #wearethechildrenofthosewhosurvived #fineartamerica #shoppixels (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLVI3YgC_i/?igshid=lw44ty7kf2d
