🙌🏿#ArtIsAWeapon 🎶Amen Mother #DuranicePace! Thank you #BrittneyPacknettCunningham for your work and your words: Reposted from @mspackyetti just like last year, holding multiple things true: ▪️a rejection of a colonization and early morning prayers on this day of mourning for #Indigenouspeople. the United American Indians of New England livestream their commemoration. Watch it with your children. Donate to their organizing. And remember this day had a truth despite the lies we were sold. www.uaine.org ▪️an honoring of the #farmworkers who bring food to our tables, often underpaid and poorly treated, often people of #theglobalmajority easily forgotten in the supply chain we politic about. #UnitedFarmWorkers is an historic organizing body working consistently to ensure the workers who’ve always been essential are treated as such. I pray our collective donations and support help make that a permanent reality. www.ufw.org. ▪️a deep and abiding respect for the Black liberation theological tradition that raised me to understand our #testimonies of gratitude as a tool for freedom. “Testimony is an integral part of the Black religious tradition. It is the occasion where the believer stands before the community of faith in order to give account of the hope that is in him or her." [James Cone]. Last year i was grieving loss and fighting to stay upright. This year, I am breathing and safe, loved and loving, fed, covered and full of new possibilities. I’ve got much to be grateful for, and the legendary late realduranicepace put me in the space today. (also y’all gotta stop sharing this video like it’s just a random person and not one of the greatest voices in all of #Gospel history from a treasured family of praisers. Put some respeck on Ms. Duranice’s name or we gon fight!) praying a life of truth for us all. honoring the immense testimony of gratitude that i owe. 🙏🏾 #Gratitude #Purpose #Justice #BlackLiberation #BlackTraditions #HonoringTheAncestors #Thankful #GospelMusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CWtM-ODNmhu/?utm_medium=tumblr
