\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am
A messy mix of assumptions and biases -
Learned, unlearned by kin and by society,
I am a constant state of growing and challenging:
Myself, my sphere, the powers that be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have
Two hands to hold another or write a letter,
Two ears to listen deep before I speak;
Two feet to march or dance or walk alongside,
Two eyes to show my mind where justice seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work
Behind the scenes, in emails and in spreadsheets
To unite efforts and create spaces for others to speak.
I wonder
At the power, wisdom and energy of community;
I wonder
When decision-makers will find their empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope
For a day when this work won\u2019t be necessary;
I dream
Of a time when labor receives the respect it deserves,
Of a space where decisions are made by the people they serve;
Of a place where systems are reimagined, deconstructed and reworked;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, I am here.
To learn, listen, act, challenge, grow;
Grateful for space
To unite
And to sow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
