“The way you bend but not broken.”… “Been holding us together the way fists do.”…”You draw the line, beneath us – holding us up. Above us, keeping us covered.” …”Our movies, our videos and even some of our fists have knocked you down. But still you rise.” … “Like crack cell phones, you still work with us even though we’re still raggedy.” – this was soooo dope. Moved me so much! I love hearing black men speak highly of black women. I swear Kelley, I don’t hear it enough. And like the creator said at the end, we have a lot of wounds and scars that have not healed and the conversation has not even been had.

I’m so glad you took something from it, Josie! It’s a feel good tune that speaks on the best parts of us, the root of the Black woman. Just.. lovely.
