Dear Black Womxn,

In the last two weeks, have you feared for the children you do not have?

 

Dear Black Mothers,

In the last two weeks, have you feared for your children?

Have you considered writing a love letter to these children

to encapsulate and process what you are feeling right now?

Dear Black womxn,

  • Have you thought about the children you do not have and feared for them? Have you felt for your nephews, nieces, your cousins during this time picturing the conversation you might have with them about what is happening now?

​

  • Even if having children is not something you want to have, have you during this time thought about the next generation and think “what will they remember, what will they think about May – June 2020, what would they make of it? What do I want to say to them about it?”

​

  • What about encapsulating your thoughts, fears, hope, experiences… into a love letter to them?

 

Dear Black mothers,

  • Love letter - Would you like to share how you would have addressed May - June 2020 with your children writing them a letter sharing with them what this crucial time is for you and how you feel about it?
