Thank you for sharing this! & quoting Mama Toni. I have read this twice. I pray I get to the point where I will no longer be at a job I hate or one that hates me. We have to write our stories, just as she said. There are people waiting for the stories that have not yet been written.

This is the goal - “I write to liberate myself and those I love. This is my focus. This is my aim.”

I feel so much of this. Especially the part about leaving jobs that deplete and don't offer love. Also, 'Black Imagination' seems incredible and a perfect way to round out this post. It's like a reminder that rest is ours and that creating a world where we can go towards it, is vital and healing in ways we deserve to explore.
