Personal Power

Reading about racism always leaves me feeling so heavy hearted, like a piece of lead is slowing dropping from my heart into my stomach. Its an ache, a depression. I don't think there's a person on this planet who is born prepared for racism. The amount of pain that comes with it is just inconceivable. I don't think I can go much deeper than that in this moment. I finally got into my cardio class and I think my body is begging for rest.

For now I feel some lingering pride in the fact that I accomplished some work. Also in the fact that someone saw my chart and saw some many positive things in it.

an activist..... empowered by passion
A teacher (or story-teller or facilitator) with a mercurial gift for continually re-inventing yourself.
You have a need to be seen so choose a career that lights your fire!

I'm encouraged by these words, and they bring up so many questions and possibilities for my future.. my path is now widening and stretching out before me... Its like being able to see more of the picture. I could teach. I could rally. I could be a fire starter. I could be a public figure. All when I'm no longer frightened of being invisible. Could my own personal power finally be breaking through?

I believe so.

I should really pick up my camera
