It is about finding inner peace in a world of chaos. A world that is violent towards black bodies and identities. One that ignore and perpetuates black pain and suffering.
Self-cure
is an act that is defiant because it is about putting your needs, expectations
and well-being above others. It is about preservation
and acting in resistance to societal expectations. As the great African
American feminist writer, Audre Lorde Project, eloquently said:
“When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So, it is better to speak.”
