“…preserved to emerge…”
“Living witness, you’ve been preserved to emerge, and carry out justice on behalf of those before, and after you. No Gregorian calendar will tell your times; no Western incentive will prod regard for your mandate; and no colonizer’s message will nurture the nature of the tasks set before you buy the Divine. Bear this truth with dignity and wisdom ”

About “The Witnesses” series:
We must bear witness! The book is a testament holder; our experience is a lens; our discernment is the voice instructing us on what to put down. Nothing that intersects with our journey is coincidental— it’s all part of the testimony and testament we are called to keep.
Every day this society seeks to banalize teastained women’s disposition and cheapen our demeanor to get us to think we are just as they are—yet we are not. What is a witness? One who can testify. Soulful sojourner, this is who you are by Divine birthright.
This series is an encouragement to those of us who understand that we are living witnesses attesting to our unprecedented ancestral significance. Those of us carrying and leaving history for those coming after us by being responsible witnesses of the times to which we have been entrusted. Do you understand?
Always with love and obedience to the soulful sojourners,
Chimene
