Why are spaces for women of color important TO ME? Because for far too long we have been left out of the narratives. In this space you are at the center of the conversation. Because without you there is NO me! Because writing is how we dig for the truth and hopefully save ourselves. Because our ancestors demand that WE tell OUR stories. Without them there is NO us! In this space you are able to come as you are NO translation necessary. In this space your accent, your traditions, your culture, your religion, your background, your history, and our differences…. MATTER! I can’t wait to see you all tonight. 💋💋💋🇩🇴🌪🔥⚔️🙏🏾 #LOVE your humble leader, Alicia
