Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head by Warsan Shire
5.0
Dear Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head,
Haunting, beautiful, heartbreaking, and should be read slowly with love, respect, and time to reflect.
Seek out diverse authors and artist.
“No one puts their children in a boat, unless the water is safer than the land. No one choose days and nights in the stomach of a truck, unless the miles traveled meant something more than journey.”
“The insults are easier to swallow than finding your child’s body in the rubble.”
“We lie in bed beside each other, holding mirrors to the mouths of our skirts, comparing wounds.”
❤️
