Every part of me and my body is politicized
My skin
My hair
My uterus
My culture
Loving myself and valuing my humanity, in a society that sees me as nothing more than a commodity, is an act of political resistance

And loving those like me is an act of political solidarity.

Tupac was using vile language and preparing to fight someone on the set of Poetic Justice. Dr.  Maya Angelou was on set and here are the powerful words she employed to diffuse the fight which eventually made Tupac cry:

“When was the last time that anyone told you that ‘it’s all for you,’ that we lived 300 years on the edge of a dime so that you can exist? When is the last time? Do you know that we stood on slave ship decks and stood on auction blocks and were hosed down like dogs for you, so that you can live?’
