"I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you.’ There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt."

today, we thank all the mothers, play mothers, aunties, big sister momma friends. for those who have nurtured us, guided us, given us a shoulder to cry on, and warm arms to rest in. thank you, for celebrating our achievements, for telling us we can do anything, for pushing us when no one else would. 

even when we are selfish, and unkind, your love never wavers. thank you, for doing the hard work of loving us.
