67 Suenos: Black and Brown Unity Mural

“On August 10th, 2014, 67 Sueños and the Allen Temple Baptist Church unveiled the Black and Brown Unity Mural. The mural represents the issues surrounding African-American and Hispanic communities, including mass-incarceration and immigrant detention.“

                               Unafraid

 I am a WOMEN.

I wonder about FREEDOM.

I hear HOPE and see LOVE .

  I am STUCK.

I PRETEND that things will get BETTER.

       BUT YET !

I feel like am FALLING in a deep hole into water that I  eventually  will  

                                       DROWN in.

I am UNAFRAID of what that will feel like ,

          I’ve prepared myself and will gladly take that JUMP .

I see ENDFUL GLEEFUL days as I pretend to be Brave.

Unafraid of DEATH because that’s how I will see Abuelita again.

Unafraid because that’s how I can BE FREE once again.
