Coming Home: THE PANEL DISCUSSION by Thyonne Gordon

THE PANEL DISCUSSION
Only light can drive out darkness
Coming Home
The stories we tell are PROUD STORIES
That we are still here…
Hope, Creative imagination
The space we occupy with no fear
Dispersed leadership
Standing on the shoulders
And collaborating without ego
as we get older
There are DISAPPOINTMENTS
That we are still here…
Lack of value for facts.
Rhetoric with no tact
When divisiveness creeps in
And Blacks are still at the bottom
Complacent as entertainment for the community
WE do not resist without compromise
We do not stand toward the same goal
We do not
MOVE
CONVERSATIONS
FORWARD
COLLECTIVELY & WHOLE to
SHIFT
SHIFT
SHIFT
And CELEBRATE him
STOP looking for the one
Hero’s are assassinated
WE must SHIFT
The old way of thinking
Looking for the one
Instead SHIFT…
Mentorship
Show up Consistently
Use the tools
Monetize the Black community
Trick the giant
Create equity
Embrace with love
Take a stand

RAP your
Rhythm
And
Poetry
To get back in touch with YOU
Reinfuse Passion and empathy
Gathering
Conversation
Stories
Honor the values
Everyday ASK
What can I do?
And curate your story
I don’t have the answers for you
Speaking
Marching
Writing
Moving forward
JUST DO
Do the thing
Take the first step even though you can’t see the staircase
Re-energize your sense of duty
Celebrate the little victories
We can’t lose hope
MAKE SOME NOISE
