There has always been a desire to be liberated and free – not only physically but mentally as well. To break the notion that a human being – blood coursing through their veins, muscle and bone, soul and spirit, is to be confined to bias, prejudices, perspectives, antagonism, discrimination, laws, and governing forces that bind them under the weight of oppression. We are a part of a wave of souls yearning, striving, and moving towards freedom. We continue to resist, to defy, to oppose, and to rise above – to overcome. We are always moving forward.
