Picked

We all want to be loved. We all want to be chosen. We want to approved. We want to be accepted. We want to be picked. We want to know that we are included. We want to know that we are important. It’s only natural. What if I told you that you are loved? What if I told you that you are special and one of a kind?You are the apple of God’s eye. You are one of God’s creations picked to live and exist in such a time as this. You have a purpose. You were bought with a price. You were picked.

Diversity

"When we're talking about diversity, it's not a box to check. It is a reality that should be deeply felt and held and valued by all of us."-Ava DuVernay
 

Let me say this, I knew that this would happen. I knew the numbers wouldn't compare. I knew that Brown faces would be hard to receive. I knew that "it's a man's world." I just wanted this time to be different. I wanted that on the eve of International Women's Day that we would support Ava. I wanted us to support diversity. I wanted more than just Barbie dolls and merchandise. I wanted my daughter to go see a movie with a lead that looks just like her. I wanted the inclusion riders. I wanted to believe that we wanted diversity too.
