The Same $20 🫶🏾
I had a good little chuckle yesterday as I sent a heart react to Robin Divine’s loving contribution towards my family’s safety. I looked back at our history and we just keep sending each other the same $20, knowing damn well we can’t afford it.
I hope everyone here knows the warmth I felt after that chuckle is the same warmth I want for each and everyone of us. When Robin and I send that $20 we are simply saying “I see you, I want more for you and I want you to know that.” We both know we need that $20 and will most likely get it back from the other shortly, but for right now the message is clear and loving.
Thank you to all of you who send what you can, to all of you who send the “I see you” in the various ways y’all do and to all of you who send love abundantly out into a world that often times makes us feel like love is scarce, especially for Black people without money.
Love is not a finite resource and I refuse to treat it like one. I am so proud of each and every one of us who don’t. I cannot wait for the day when we all don't. 💜
