The privilege of being privy...

you ever watch someone grow and become?

it's amazing.

who they once were.
who they fought to be.
who they accepted within.
where they came from.
where they've gone.
where they are.

the work seen and unseen.
the responsibility, accountability, perseverance.
the falling apart, breaking down, letting go.
the pushing forward, pulling up, keeping on.
the beginning, end and in between.
a lot of Sankofa and Kujichagulia.

it's amazing. what you're allowed to see, just watching, from their side.
