I got the idea for this title from a gif I received on Martin Luther King Jr Day from a friend. There was no sound, but the words followed the movement of his mouth. I’m Black and Beautiful, Yes! I’m Black, and I’m Proud of It!She has no idea how that made my entire week, month, AND year. Starting my morning with this gif will carry me throughout the week as I continue to do this work, no matter how challenging or energetically draining it can be.Reading the captions brought to mind a few conversations I have had over the past couple of months with friends and colleagues who experience the world through White bodies.
