“Black, Pregnant and surrounded by Racial Injustice”

Sometimes people ask me what it’s like to be pregnant during “these times”. Usually they mean a pandemic and while that has been a unique experience, mine is much more complex than that. Sometimes people encourage me to just take a break from advocacy and focus on becoming a mom but the two will always be connected in ways I couldn’t really explain. I decided to write a poem instead.
