We can't ever win or get our happy ending, can we?

"DEAR BLACK - a freedom piece" . . . Thank you, thank you, thank you to the organizers of @activate.chi for giving me a platform to speak for my people. 38,000 attended the March in some capacity, whether it was from the FB invitation or the residents at home that heard us in the streets and then joined. Either way, this is just a single reminder of why I do what I do. Nothing fires me up more than my role as an artistic political activisit. My roommate asked "were you nervous?" And I said "no" because before I got on that stage I knew that my nerves were not more important than the message I had written. That's always my mindset everytime I step into any theatrical production, because hopefully I am telling a story that needs to be told. I have no interest in any performance that isn't going to impact my audience in a progressive and positive way so from here on out, I pray that this movement will bring about validity for not only my path, but for others as well. #chicago #chicagoprotests #protest #BlackLivesMatter #beyonce #slampoetry #poetry #poetryofinstagram #cpd #bluelivesmatter #myass #singing #performance #performanceart #activist #socialdistancing (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJjLZpA4iG/?igshid=13nl43wbwcr5u
