Today is ThanksTaking not Thanksgiving! While I do eat thanksgiving dinner, I heavily take part in reflecting and educating myself all year long about indigenous peoples and the land that I live on. As someone who is Black with Cherokee ancestry, I am thankful that I exist. To honor and respect this day, I pray for the many indigenous peoples lives that are lost and or forgotten. While also honoring those that are still here today. My ancestors on both sides are watching over me and I want to show them how strong of a person I am!!! How proud I am of my background! How I NEVER back down even when many say that I should! Let’s educate ourselves about indigenous peoples and the land that was stolen from them. ✊🏾
