May you acknowledge the beauty of your heritage. May you use your privilege and heritage to be a voice for the voiceless. And when you are terrified of the evils that you face, cry out to Jehovah Jireh. May your internal and external communities rally up behind you and pray for you. May three prayers strengthen you as you pursue justice. May you be filled with wisdom and peace as you initiate the pursuit. And when you expose injustice to higher powers, may you expose it in the way that you’re most comfortable. No one can fight like you. May you know that it is ok to break down and cry as you fight. May the hard hearts of the higher powers soften, and May their eyes see supremacy that oppressed others. May this fuel them with rage against the system, and may they give you sufficient support to fight. May you have a season of success in your battles. May those who oppressed your faith and religion be put to shame.
