Harriet Jacobs's sheer determination while hiding in that attic is mind blowing! What courage and resilience. She couldn't have known, I assume, when her escape opportunity would come.
I've spoken with many women who, in terms of "freedom to," could not really even state what they would wish to do with their time. For a while in my 20s I didn't. We need space and time to get to know ourselves and develop our wishes, and I want every woman to have that.
Isn’t that a wild story??? And I totally agree, Fran. Many times, we don’t even have the space to dream up a new existence that suits us. But what these short few months have shown me is that we must take it, literally. No one is going to give it to us or ask us what we want to do (typically).
Live in your "Free Black Woman Era", Kathy. I pray it'll continue to be beneficial for you. 🙏🏾🩵
Thank you, trE!
You're quite welcome!
