“You are only free when you realize you belong no place—you belong every place—no place at all, the price is high, the reward is great.” — Maya Angelou. So many times, I have sat in spaces questioning whether I belonged; the space challenged me, exposed me, brought me to my knees, and put me on my face. These spaces were uncomfortable, but God knew I belonged in these spaces, not for me, but for His glory. I remember sitting in rooms where a quick glance sparked the thought,

Black History Month is a time of reflection, remembrance, and honoring the resilience within our stories. I am using this moment to share my personal reflection on oppression and trauma as seen through the experiences my Granny, Addie Mae Wright, so vividly shared. When we learn about African American history, we see it through many lenses.
