OG_BAT :

That book is from my childhood, we also had the tapes. My dad bought a copy for my daughter and put it on CD for her as well.

Madison Williams :

I feel like I’m maybe oversimplifying it but my first thought was that if we keep our loved ones close to us even after they pass, they will continue to protect us

Jesse :

I find that the deepest lesson is your circumstances may limit your options, but they do not have to define your potential. Sometimes the greatest act of freedom begins with refusing to let anyone own your imagination, your wisdom, or your hope

THE ASCENT :

If you embody love, you can outsmart, outwit and conquer any enemy. To love oneself is our greatest weapon. 🥰

Philly Dee :

That’s my nursery book from childhood🌹

Oryn (Oh-Ren) ✨⭐️🧘🏾‍♀️ :

I tried reading the stories in this book to my daughter but she’s afraid of them . Maybe she will appreciate them more when she’s older .

Sheakenotstird :

They will never make the time to know us so our stories, essence, and truth will always be our liberation.

lovelelatifah :

We have more control over ourselves than we think

Alunara 🤎 :

Hold on to love because that’s the key to our freedom 🤷🏽‍♀️😭
