BREATHE...123…
BREATH has NO license. BREATH is an obedient sacred service to life. The first breath is important because it announces to parents that “I have arrived” and I have a lot to accomplish while I am alive”, and every cry tells MOTHERS and FATHERS: YOU MATTER.

Brave souls, young warriors light the way because they are LEADERS not followers. They march together for they ARE unity. They stand together in solidarity. A convergence of ancestries – a poetic embrace of human tapestry. They are fighting for futures, and for what is fair and judicious. They are pleading the case for their generation, for lost innocence is gaining international resonance.
“NOT ANOTHER BLACK LIFE” is boldly written on large placards in large caps and courageously held up, because there is no turning back. With their energies they share the urgency of what is needed to be said.
