Whatever you can do, whatever you can share or think about, as long as it takes -- that's the work, reflected beautifully here. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! I do believe that we each have gifts and talents to share and that is where our power is. Thank you for all of the work you do in elevating the stories that have been forgotten.

Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate how anchored you are in your "why" - "to elevate the stories and people who have been forgotten, hidden, or lost." And how guided you are by the light of justice. Reminded of one of your previous posts where you wrote about how "justice is an always thing." Your posts help me to see more clearly what is happening - and that, as you said, "erasure is not new" and to recommit myself to forward progress, "using the skills we have to uplift voices in all the places we can and call out injustice when we see it," as you beautifully offer. It's so helpful to know that we are not alone and strengthens my resolve to keep moving forward. Thank you!

I love that you find things in my words that I didn't know were there. You lift me up and for that I am grateful!
