Betty Dereje

“There are those of us who did not come here to fit in, to follow the script,
to wear the name tags handed out by a forgetting world.
We came encoded-with memory, with fire, with light older than time.
And while much of that was hidden beneath trauma, conditioning, shame, survival, the truth never died.
It waited.
In the bones.
In the breath.
In the body.
In the trees.
And now-we are remembering.” 😇🙏🏽
