"In the middle of Huntington, West Virginia, there is a river. Next to this river, there is a steel mill. And next to the steel mill, there is a school. In the middle of this school, there is a fountain. Each year, on the exact same day, at the exact same hour… the water to this fountain is turned off. And in this moment, once every year… throughout the town, throughout the school… time stands still." 11-14-1970. Never Forget. We are... Marshall.

About yesterday morning…. The #refugecoffeerun was awesome! So proud of my family and friends for supporting such an awesome cause. #allrefugeeswelcome - periodt! Everyone deserves freedom, food, safety, education, and shelter. There is more then enough for everyone if we have the mindset of unity. #iambecauseweare #ubuntu Special love to @alaricjasonwatkins for running his first 5k and then turning around and running a 1 mile!!! @asilialozellewatkins whom didn’t want to come at all - but grabbed @wmt1914 hand and ran all the way! @wmt1914 for always supporting me and my whims! I love you, baby! @tjterry21 for running through a cramp in his calves, but still finishing! @kristiea123 for walking with me when I couldn’t run and patiently talking with me through my heavy panting! @phylicia2021 for coming out even though we drank wine the night before.

💖 Let there be light!💖 ‘It’s not only other people who hold us in our identities. Familiar places and things, beloved object, pets, cherished rituals, one’s own bed or favourite shirt, can and do help us maintain our sense of self. And it is no accident that much of this kind of holding goes on in the place where our families are: at home. The home…is an extension and mirror of the living body in its everyday activity and is thus a materialization of identity…our homes manifest who we are at the same time as they provide the physical scaffolding that supports who we are.’ Our homes and what goes on within them is central to our personhood and identity. So are the things we do and the roles that we play. Extract from ‘Holding One Another: the social practice of personal identities’, Hilde Lindemann talks of the ‘scaffolding of the self’ #iambecauseweare #ubuntu #sharedpersonhood #relationalautonomy #authenticlove #valuablenotvulnerable #dementiacare #identity #lovingkindness #nurturing #reciprocalrelationship #surrenderexperiment #escapingtheinvisibleasylum https://www.instagram.com/p/CEMdIlfHqv5/?igshid=71q4nw85fdfm

There’s nothing more powerful than knowing and acknowledging self....nothing. #reallife #iambecauseweare #sankofa #nothyself #youmeus https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6wdGGnPeT_-u7px6kMhd4aJ7YCld6aq3ZS2g0/?igshid=16b0lkn5gctg7
