here is some of my privilege.
I believe they were thinking of me
wearing myrrh and adorned in silver
and that is not selfish
we share the same sun
– the kiss on our skin
we share a love of puzzles
– arrangements of letters
we turn into poems – plays – books – speeches
and laughs.

I wish it was that simple. Try being a black mother or a black educator explaining to the wonderful, beautiful black children and women in my life that they are ‘enough’.
