This Ain't Our Celebration

from Giving My SELF Permission Hosted by Dr. Pennie Murray

Every year, this country throws a party on the 4th of July with flags, fireworks, and songs of freedom. But I’m no longer willing to ignore that woven into the broad stripes and stars of this celebration is a history of cruelty, erased contributions, sacrifices, and unpaid debts to those who built this country without freedom or safety. As a Black woman, I know this ain’t our celebration. Yet, while they whitewash history, the present and future call us to reclaim what’s ours: purpose, wholeness, and sovereignty. If you no longer want to carry the emotional burden of this country’s illusions… You need to listen to this episode, because it’s the perfect time to strategize our SELF-Reparation—instead of waiting for the healing justice that this country has never provided.
