Let us take to the streets
IT IS TIME TO MAKE OUR ANGER VISIBLE, SAYS PHYLL OPOKUGYIMAH
PHYLL OPOKU-GYIMAH
Hey DIVA reader, it’s so nice to hear that I was missed during my break last issue. Fortunately for me and maybe unfortunately for you, I was taking time out. It’s all about self-care. I needed time for me, and to reflect on what has happened since Trump’s inauguration and how our world now feels like a very different place.
I am finding myself becoming increasingly political. I didn’t even know that was possible! I am shouting from the rooftops and up and down the streets, wherever I can be heard. I’m turning up the volume and letting everyone know that my bold, strong blackness, my beautiful womanhood, my political queerness, my principled socialist-self and my intersectional approach to life must be seen and heard 365 days of the year – without apology for who I am.
