We carry a lineage of lions in a world of fences.But a fence cannot stop the sun from rising,and a cage cannot quiet the rhythm of a heartthat beats in sync with the drums of the ancestors.

The crown is heavy, but your neck was built for the weight. Bayete

So stand tall, not because you are greater,but because you are the bridge.You are the breath of those who couldn’t breathe,the song of those who were silenced,and the living proof that the fire was never put out—it was only waiting for you to exhale.
