Woke: A Young Poet's Call to Justice QUOTES

1 " but just know
you contain waves,
you are an ocean,
your heart is as large as lakes
and when it quakes
you have to rise,
and rise,
and let the tide inside you
shake every single ship
that would attempt to sweep
someone beneath:

Rock the boat, rock the boat,
with love and hope, rock the boat. "

― Mahogany L. Browne , Woke: A Young Poet's Call to Justice

2 " but remember, even on the days
you aren't feeling yourself:

Your body is always a good body
because it carries the good in you. "

― Mahogany L. Browne , Woke: A Young Poet's Call to Justice
