“Do you know who I am?
Or From where I come?“
The quote from Afeni Shakur shook me to my core
That’s my power
That’s my strength
“I know why the caged bird sings”
Nod to Ms. Maya Angelou
I come from the strength and power of struggle.
I am the black story.
We overcome!!!
We triumph!!!
We turn nothing into something amazing!!!
We’ve learned the power and earned the right!

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
