My Dearest Daughter,
Advocate for yourself. You never know, by advocating for yourself, you may be advocating for your future kids, for your coworker or classmate, for your fellow sisters of color.
It's something I'm just learning how to do in my 30s.
You are worthy of speaking up, speaking your truth, speaking your experience, standing up for yourself and taking up space.
I hope you do not have to live in a world where you have to carry around a gun, taser or pepper spray to protect yourself from our fellow man.
I hope you do not have to live in a world where you are ignored, belittled, discriminated against or even killed because of the color of your skin, your sexuality or gender.
I will do everything I can to advocate for myself, for my mother, for you and all the other daughters out there. So that you don't have to live in that world.
I Love You,
Your Mama
