OUR RISERS.....
God NEVER meant for women to be subjugated. He NEVER meant for men to feel the need to overpower women because of their WEAK wills or petty insecurities . He NEVER meant for women to cower in fear almost every waking moment. Could it be that for years people have misinterpreted how the creation of woman took place? Could it be that out of ignorance we feed men's insatiable indulgences, no matter how superficial? I rise because I now choose to be the WOMAN that God intended for me to be. A woman of STRENGTH....a woman of INTELLECT....a woman of FAITH....I rise because I am somebody's mother.... somebody's sister.... and somebody's daughter.... I rise because I AM A WOMAN!!!!....The woman who God intended for me to be.... Tracey Little
I rise to stop the pain...to stop their desire to isolate me! I want to start breathing again...
I rise to burst those strings puppet master... ... to dance but no longer to your tune! I want to live on my laughter...I rise to end your fake love...to just be a real person in the world! I want no longer that is you I have fear of... Selzie Khan
The fingers through my hair I'd feel, brutal and mercilessly, Grasping and battering like if I was some rag doll. I turn to my mom and ask "Why does he treat me so?" and she replies, "my dear child God made u for a reason." ... Childhood years have gone by, and adulthood is my prime, but the abuse still goes on from the considerate and kind. A little joke turned out serious, his hands were quick to talk, And that was the end of her life, So too her hands did her talk. her final words to herself, "God why did u make me?" her mom said from above, "Your duty is done, now we have time together for eternity." Shantal Dookie
"When you say you love me. I remember your grip around my throat. When you say that you miss me. I know its all a joke ... You smile like its all better. As I still sleep next to you. You think we're still together. And you assume I want you too. I cover your scars... Cover them with makeup. Cover them with smiles. Hoping to wake up. I rise now... I want you to rise too. I try to tell you how. But its all up to you..." Selzie Khan
I am rising cause i want to help end exploitation of children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R Gerard Fulchan
I rise because it is time for lambs to become lionesses. Sometimes, right must get might on its side...not to make right, but to emphasize that it IS right. i rise because the rights you don't defend cease to be recognized by those who surround you. Nzingha Sibongile
I rise because every day women are being violated and abused, yet, law-makers fail to provide tougher penalties for perpetrators and real protection for survivors. I rise! Kay Sally Salandy
I rise because the time has come for women to stand up, stand firm, stand STRONG against oppression, against submissiveness and against tradition that binds their freedom. I rise because women have had enough and the time is ripe for our voices to be heard. I rise because the violence must stop and women must learn their worth. I rise....STILL I rise!!!! Tracey Little
I RISE because it's about time women stop being afraid to walk, to dress, to live, freely and just be able TO BE. Lorie Elle
I am rising because I have a mother, and a sister. I am rising because violence against women and girls is everybody's business, I am rising because I am a Man,, I am rising because I am human and we are all connected to each other! Triston Wallace
I rise so that the veil can be lifted. Roger Ekow Watts
I RISE because I have found the source of my JOY! The wellspring of my PEACE and the mainstay of my POWER. I RISE because I have taken back my power from the oppressor and have broken the chains of my self-imposed prison into the EMPOWERING SPACE and the innermost being of TRUE LIBERATION. I RISE because I AM WHO I AM an no bars can hold me now. This is the measure of my overcoming. I RISE!
