The only thing that pisses me off is that it's only a month. I listen to Black History Boot Camp, and it goes way beyond the amazing people we already know (my always favorite, (Harriet Tubman, the warrior) to discuss so many others, like Afeni Shakur. And they include these amazing poems with the email each week, like this one:

mothering. is a poetry.

an articulate.

terrifying.

arduous.

blinding. poetry.

when you pour him from your body.

that is a poetry.

when you wash. his. new body. in the kitchen sink.

that is a poetry.

when you calculate the distance from your house. and all the streets.

between.

how long it will take him to arrive at his best friend’s home.

and return.

alive.

that is a strategic. poetry.

a navigation. the maverick’s poetry.

a poetry of architecture. careful craft.

a war captain’s. poetry…
