Thank you so incredibly much for writing this!! 🫶🏽 You've given language to a feeling I've carried my entire life but have never been able to name—that profound lack of cultural memory. Your words resonated so deeply, highlighting the void that systems of separation created for so many of us in the diaspora severed from our cultural memory. This piece feels like a key to life !! 🗝️ I am so inspired by you & your story and cannot wait to join you one day in the vital, beautiful work of cultural reclamation & preservation 🌱💖
