As a black woman, I shared similar reservations to the ones articulated by @jamilahlemieux about attending the Women's March...until yesterday. I could barely breathe watching our complete erasure from the state. We are at a watershed moment in our nation. I now fully appreciate the historical significance of the March as a counter to the unveiling of this oppressive, monolithic world order. I'm not going to stay home in protest of longstanding fractures amongst women. I will join in solidarity with all who are standing against this new regime. I am marching for my Soul Sisters, Basil, Sabine, and all who remain under threat. Whether you march or stay home, we all need skin in the game moving forward. Things just got real. #whyimarch

This is the best form of protest I can think of today. There aren't even any waves. I've waited too long for permission to accept who u am. #likeagirl #womensmarch
#imarchforthosewhocamebeforeme....... for the generations of women who worked and marched and fought the status quo, and taught their daughters and their daughters' daughters to have open hearts and minds so that we could be here today, this astonishing gathering of women who have been galvanized to raise their voices against this frightening status quo... let us feel the fire today of those who came before! Let us learn from their lessons! Let us love and support one another on this uncertain path! #womensmarch #j21
