Â
âlet us look upon them and let us say their names,
And let us hear the mighty words they spoke to bring us change.
…
Audre Lorde lived a little Black life before she wrote to inspire
ââI am deliberate and afraid of nothingââ
to remind us of our inner power, and to share her poetic fire.
…
âSo many whoâve lived these little black lives have mattered, so, you see,
But you neednât change the world, my child, to mean the world to me.
