No, I don’t have the complete answer to that question yet. But best believe I am going to ponder it til the day I die. It is essential for me, that I consciously and critically analyze my life as a so-called free African American Woman in America. Especially, after I have bared witness to the belly of the beast, the Prison Industrial Complex, I feel some kind of way! Lol. I will never ever allow anyone to diminish my trauma by using the old ass saying, “If you don’t want to do the time, don’t do the crime”. Today I am here to say, F that! We have lots of work to do. I keep asking myself, how am
I going to celebrate? Lol. My
thought is I would love to celebrate by having a full time
Professor Gig or access to a full time employment, instead of trying to strategize about how I am now going to earn a living. Three days left! Whew. I can never fully explain how much this experience has impacted my life. I am just so glad that, I was born and raised to be who and where I am at any given moment. That have provided me the strength to rise despite it all. Peace.
The Felonious PhD.
