resilience

as black women we learn how to bend. we are the backbone of humanity, shifted and molded to reflect the world around us. mother of mothers. sister of sisters. carrying trauma in our smiles, rhythm in our blood, history in our hair, legacy in our skin. we are the unsung heroes. and although you may never see us weep, shake or quiver, know that we climbed mountains to get here - and will break them to bring our sisters in. — resilience | the climb Alexxa and Kheanna Walker Self-Portrait Photograph Highlands, Scotland April 16, 2022
