Yesterday was Juneteenth, but every day is Juneteenth when you celebrate Black liberation year-round.

“For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.

Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.” ― Audre Lorde
