This is such a beautiful piece and genuinely warmed my heart. Your description of radical hospitality and the care and compassion found through community sounds like a freedom dream I too long for. It reminds me of my grandmothers love 💞 thank you so much for this invitation!
Toni! This has been making me teary eyed since I saw the notification. This experience came only three years after loosing my own grandmother. And I found myself with a set of adopted grandparents there is something so profound of being in the presence of elders and their mature love and wisdom. Its my hope to create a similar environment for all those hungry for it. 🥰🤍 thank you for stopping by!
Powerful my love. Unfortunately it's so hard to find this type of genuine hospitality anymore. I experienced this once when I was a teenager. There were issues in my home and somehow I ended up befriended one of the neighbor's grandkids. His family invited me in and immediately treated me like I was one of their grandkids, and that relationship never wavered. But again, these were older hands that were held out to welcome me in. Makes you wonder how we can get that old feeling back into these newer generations.
I believe that there are some of us who have been passed this mantle who are in this generation now. Not all safe spaces and refuges are found at the kitchen table, but they do exist! But I will continue to preach this gospel and invite others to partake in making better humans! ✊🏽🌸
