About yesterday and this whole, Coretta Scott King, thing

I have to be honest with you. I’m not the most rah-rah person when it comes to celebrating my own accomplishments. I never have been and I probably never will be. But yesterday…oh man. Yesterday was a different story. A different story birthed from a different feeling. No, I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry. I just kinda fell back onto my bed, and let myself levitate. And I stayed right there, floating, all day.

I grew up looking at those seals on all the books.

Mama always said there’d be days like this. Days where I would stand at the front of the line, even if just for a moment. Days where I would know what it felt like… to float.
