This day of black history, I will use Nina Simone as my example. 😊
My favorite quotes of hers;
Unyielding: "You don't have to live next to me, just give me equality."
Magical: "To me, we are the most beautiful creatures in the world—black people. So, my job is to make them more curious about where they came from and their own identity and pride in that identity."
Courageous: "How does royalty stomp around in the mud and still walk with grace? Most people are afraid to be as honest as she lived—she was not at odds with the times. Times was at odds with her. If we were living in an environment that allowed us to be exactly who we are, you're always in congress with yourself. The challenge is how do we fit in in the world that we're around. Are we allowed to be exactly who we are?"
