I hear the screams, the pain…the trauma carried through the genes. AFRICA Mende, Igbo, Yoruba, Bantu, Wolof, Fulani…These women taken from their homes and chained together, catching diseases, dying on the shipsstucknexttostrangers…we’re all in the same boat now. AMERICA The colonists brutalize and rape the Indigenous women. The slave owners brutalize and rape the black women. The dark women have light children, and the light children have lighter children who forgot that they came from the dark women. The dark women drown in their tears, and cry, “You have forgotten us.” We’re all in the same boat now.
