Here we go again.
It seems like the more we say we want things to change, the more they stay the same.
It doesn’t help when people try to make you disbelieve what we all know is true.
So, in order that I can continue bringing you thoughtful, thought-provoking, enlightening, inspirational, challenging, emotional, and entertaining commentary; I am going to do what I have told so many candidates to do, and that is to take a break, and exhale.
“Breathe, stretch, shake, and let it go,” said lyrical genius Mase.
I would encourage my students, at Paul Quinn College, to recite those words and apply them to our lessons because I needed them to be of sound mind and body.
I think that someone like me, because I feel like my last nerve is being tap danced on simultaneously by Maude and Chloe Arnold, the Nicholas Brothers, Debbie Allen, Savion Glover and Gregory Hines.
I thought I couldn’t feel like this after Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, but balancing love for your people with fighting those same people, while also freeing them mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and economically, can be so challenging.
Hurt people will hurt other people. A break is needed to avoid the madness that can ensue.
I am asking you and begging you, for your own well-being, exhale!
See you next week.
