Title: The End of the First Flail
On our way home
cover'd in foam
The moon alone see
we whisper lolli
Always eterno couth
the grasp between us booth
The rest the night do blanket
Yes!

Question to Donna Oriowo [ DRINK WATER AND MIND YOUR BUSINESS, will be released on May 13th, 2025 ( https://bookshop.org/p/books/feelin-myself-healing-self-esteem-for-black-women-donna-oriowo/21263397?ean=9781728281513&next=t&affiliate=10902 )]: who she dedicated her book to and why!
Answer: It is easy to dedicate and not think about it, but i definitely thought about it. So I did a three part dedication. Part 1 was a quote. I am a girl who loves quotes. I love African proverbs. I feel like they mean something different to each of us. And for me the one that I chose was, don't expect to be healthy when your oppressor is feeding you. And for me the oppressor in this situation depends on who is oppressing you. yes, because I am thinking about the isms in life , colorism, texturism, racism, sexism, et cetera. And, how there are power dynamics there. But when I think of the people who are doing the oppressing. I think yes, of supremacy culture. But not just white supremacy, male supremacy, heterosexist supremacy, et cetera. So really, if you can identify one then this book is for you. Number two , to black women, my first loves, not just because I am a black woman, but because I came from a black woman, because my mother created other black women, and there was an entire village of black women behind me supporting me while I was writing this project, while I was conceptualizing this project and I will be remiss if I didn't say something. And my third dedication, well that one , I want them to read on their own and know that I thought of them. anyway, that is a little about who I dedicated to and why. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/regina-brooks_welcome-to-the-next-installment-of-ask-an-activity-7296181915571609600-nRBw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAC9jwHcBhMdyfurNH2JmdlAPjJgXHivmWR8
