I can still remember my father’s face as it was I can still remember my father’s face as it was flooded with tears, whilst we as a family watched the miniseries, Roots. An African American had taught my father how to read and write English. A skill that allowed dad to be a very successful immigrant from Greece. This was 1977 on the Northern beaches of Sydney where I was the only one in the whole school with black hair, dark brown eyes, olive skin, 11 letters to my surname AND stuffed tomatoes in my sandwiches! It was summer and those damn flies were as relentless as the bullying. At least back then, it would stop at 3:30 pm. 1977 was also the same year that I met someone in person of Africa heritage and it happened to be in Paris. As a dancer I was passionate about music and growing up, African American artists dominated my record collection. Watching Roots was one of the defining moments in my life. Visiting Katherine, in the Northern Territory in 2017 was another. Our Indigenous are suffering. Although the gut wrenching pain of personally being bullied has left me, it has helped me empathise with others that are marginalised for what ever the reason. We can all do more. We can all do better to help make our world a more harmonies place.
Still I Rise BY MAYA ANGELOU You may write me dow Still I Rise BY MAYA ANGELOU You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. Black lives matter in every country on this planet. #blackouttuesday
