I Am Who I Am Because Of You

I want to share with you words from my Mother that articulate how I feel better than I can:

"I have no words to tell you how disappointed I am. For the last 22 years I have told you that anything you want in life is possible. If you're kind, fair, and work hard, that the sky is the limit. I have been proven wrong. Hatred, bigotry, misogyny, and exclusion have won....this time. We must continue to fight, to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. It's an uphill battle, but women are used to that. Love you my dear girl."

I am who I am because of my amazingly strong and intelligent Mother.

I will continue to fight, but today I am going to cry.
