*I’se still climbin’* -- Traveling back home with Mother and - TopicsExpress



          

*I’se still climbin’* -- Traveling back home with Mother and Son, I thought about the poem “Mother to Son” by my favorite poet Langston Hughes…Then about an argument my Mother and I had years back questioning why she didn’t attend any of my poetry/dance performances, softball games, martial arts competitions or even get excited about my making good grades. Rather she would say, “Great job, now finish studying” and would continue reading her Bible. Finally she said to me one day, “You’re Black, a Woman and a Taylor. Because of who you are and where you come from you’re SUPPOSE to achieve excellence!” Lil Ablaze has made it all the more clearer that excellence is not just a choice but a necessity to ensure even his own success.
