🌿 Legacy of Love No. 2: Angela Davis

Scholar. Revolutionary. Truth-teller. Vision keeper.

Angela Davis (81), has spent her life fighting for a world where freedom is not biased and where justice isn’t just an idea, but an embodied truth for everyone.

She gained global recognition in the 1960s and 70s as a fearless advocate for Black liberation, prison abolition, and systemic change. As a former political prisoner, she became a symbol of resistance and hope—reminding the world that speaking truth to power often comes with a price, but that silence has its own cost, too.

She is the author of several incredible books including “Women, Race & Class” and “Are Prisons Obsolete?”Her writings and teachings invite us to dismantle the systems that oppress, to understand the intersections of race, gender, and class, and to imagine a new culture rooted in care, community, and collective liberation.

Angela speaks boldly about freedom being a constant struggle—and those words resonate deeply with me.

Though our paths are different, I recognize a kindred flame in her work.

As a mother of four, a mixed-race woman, the founder of Southern Crest Pride, and the creator of Sacred Cords, I, too, work to build spaces where people can live fully in their truth—free from fear, shame, or erasure.

Angela Davis reminds me that parenting is a radical act. That community is resistance. That healing is political.

She reminds me that we do not have to fit someone else’s mold of what power looks like.

We can raise our children, hold sacred circles, and still be revolutionaries.

Her legacy is more than political—it is deeply personal.

And I am grateful for the echoes between her story and mine.

For the doors she’s cracked open.

For the courage she’s modeled.

For the love she’s dared to link with justice.

Thank you, Angela.

Your voice helps me speak more freely.

Your legacy helps me love more boldly.
