Our love is resistance Our love is a protest Our love is hope Our love is ancient Our love is present I wrote about this type of Blak love during lockdown. The type of love that feels like home. Someone that not only understands the struggles but also the joys of being Blak. We cried on the phone after Kumanjayi Walker case concluded We’ve laughed that proper Blak laugh at things only Blak people will only understand Someone that can sit and yell at the basketball on tv and then see if I want to go to the courts to shoot around (then beat me at around the world) The love that has you cheering and shouting out like crazy during Australian Fashion Week in front of all the stuck up fashion mob because you’re not shame to support YOUR man. After a day of being warriors we can come home to surrender to this type of love. But for someone that struggles with the concept of home, I’m glad I’ve found home with you and wherever we may end up. The black woman smile is the guiding light through the darkness doused on us by this system. Only a black woman who has experienced so much trauma can smile so brightly that it gives her people hope. A smile that glistens like when the sun reflects off the water and shines like the moon at night because it’s the darkness that allows your existence to shine so bright Our love is present Our love is ancient Our love is hope Our love is a protest Our love is resistance #Aboriginal #TorresStraitIslander #Indigenous #indigenousrights #firstnations #ownyourstory #islandwarrior #ancestors #culture #lore #protest #cultural #pride #ausgov #IndigenousAustralian #reconciliation #Australia #AboriginalFlag #alwayswasalwayswillbe #AboriginalLand #fashion #BLM #BlacklivesMatters #picoftheday #blackexcellence
