Thank you for being prese...La Bianca, te amo mucho. Thank you for being present at the discussion. Your comment resonated even if there was an empty silence. I didn't share this with you but your comment came up in our meeting after the event. My director, a gay man of color, felt your pain...he was moved by you and openly expressed that. I would imagine that many of the other folks of color (and just those of any consciousness) felt the same way. I felt that same anxiety and disgust at those results that "confirm" that we are not valued. I have the same questions. The "lack of sisterhood" bothered me, and does on a daily basis. How can we foster strong relationships among young women in which we build each other up? How can we counteract the media and teach young men and women to work together? How can we create understanding and respect in our communities? It's all completely rhetorical but I think that just having these questions in our consciousness can help us begin to create these spaces, especially since they are currently non-existent or very hidden. <br />I appreciate you and your voice. Thank you, Goddess Bianca!goddessjazhttp://goddessesrising.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
