I wrote a lengthy email to another native daughter a few nights back. She'd experienced some hard out white oppression in an email list she's on. She'd been clearly distressed by the apparent attack on her character.
It was a difficult email to write. I wasn't prepared to leave her out in the cold yet I wanted to write my words to her in a way that would let her see she'd been challenged by someones reaction and that she would survive and live to tell the story. My email was a success. And I'm proud of myself.
Oh god, gotta go, Tyra's on tv.
