When we are growing and maturing, it can sometimes be painful. But growing pains are normal. We as young children experience the aches in our bones and muscles as we grow. Well, as adults, we experience that same kind of pain, but its in our hearts and minds. The big picture is to embrace our pains because theyre temporary. Once we have reached our maturity, we have an unfiltered wisdom. That is something only experience can bring. The harder we struggle, the stronger we have a chance to become. The choice is our own. In my life, I have struggled with love. Its easy for me to give yet hard to receive. Therefore, I have set out to conquer my inner self. I have started my journey by loving me and letting me love me back. I express my thoughts that are nontraditional because Im not traditional. I have always been considered different or an outcast, but I learned I am supposed to be. These poems are a reflection of who only God can see, and I am ready to reveal myself.

Download or read book How We Can Win written by Kimberly Jones and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the SABEW Best in Business Book Awards Winner of the 2022 AAMBC Literary Award for Non-Fiction/Self Help Book of the Year A breakdown of the economic and social injustices facing Black people and other marginalized citizens inspired by political activist Kimberly Jones' viral video, “How Can We Win.” “So if I played four hundred rounds of Monopoly with you and I had to play and give you every dime that I made, and then for fifty years, every time that I played, if you didn't like what I did, you got to burn it like they did in Tulsa and like they did in Rosewood, how can you win? How can you win?" When Kimberly Jones declared these words amid the protests spurred by the murder of George Floyd, she gave a history lesson that in just over six minutes captured the economic struggles of Black people in America. Within days the video had been viewed by millions of people around the world, riveted by Jones’s damning—and stunningly succinct—analysis of the enduring disparities Black Americans face. In How We Can Win, Jones delves into the impacts of systemic racism and reveals how her formative years in Chicago gave birth to a lifelong devotion to justice. Here, in a vital expansion of her declaration, she calls for Reconstruction 2.0, a multilayered plan to reclaim economic and social restitutions—those restitutions promised with emancipation but blocked, again and again, for more than 150 years. And, most of all, Jones delivers strategies for how we can effect change as citizens and allies while nurturing ourselves—the most valuable asset we have—in the fight against a system that is still rigged.
