Girl Child

Once upon a time…

There was a girl who ventured out into the world daring to believe in her own equality, in her own freedom.

She has lived in every time and place and class. She is the face of nearly four billion human beings who share this planet. Her quest has helped drive all of humankind’s great struggles of emancipation, yet She has been marginalized and erased from those histories.

Her story is still being written… and Her time is now.

The Girl Child has come a long, long way. Yet, like no other group or tribe on this planet, She occupies a dangerously low social status — “the least of these” in a vast and historic hierarchy of being — as She struggles to find her way through centuries upon centuries of ancient traditions, beliefs, and norms that have defined Her more as a family “asset” than as a full human being.

Well into the twenty-first century, Her body and very being are still caught in a tenuous tug-of-war between the supremacy systems of centuries past and the yet-to-be fulfilled ideals of what it means to be and live as a free people. As our global family is undergoing a long overdue reckoning around the racial legacy of slavery, our female ancestors cry from the grave #metoo!
Come let change the world of a Girl Child.
