Thank you for this reflection! I've been writing about The South and Reclaiming My Countryness a lot lately (a journey I've been on since I was 17), and the Black South is indeed *thee* blueprint and birthplace of so much of what we understand as culture today. I'm a Bama girl through and through, and as I grow and listen to stories of my elders I realize how incredible that truly is. What an honor it is to be a part of this lineage -- this constellation of creation and futuristic vision our ancestors embodied, of all that led to our liberation. 🤎
