I read your piece while listening to Miriam Makeba “Sing Me a Song.”

Her words confirm your statement that silence will never be safe “sing me a song, light up my life, fill up my space.”

When you confront oppressors in joy and strength, it disarms those who travel in the dark. Light will always prevail over dark.

Thank you for introducing me to that song! I’d never heard it but downloaded it based on your comment. Love it! Thanks for reading, commenting, and giving me a new song to add to my playlist!
