Good morning to everyone except those who don’t support the Black Lives Matter movement. There are some new faces around here so I thought that I should officially introduce myself. My name is Bri like the Cheese. Im an exhausted black mother living in Seattle. Im on a healing journey of self love with the ultimate goal of inner peace. I want to pass that gift on to my children. I am laying the groundwork for us to be free.
.

I am a Black woman who lives in America with dreams of freedom because I have never lived in a world where I have felt truly safe. What does it feel like to go out in public and not fear a confrontation that could lead to your death? .
.
A few weeks ago the police showed up at my door unexpectedly. It was a mishap that I survived. Im still dealing with the trauma from that encounter. In March Breonna Taylor had the police show up at her door unexpectedly, but she did not survive that. Freedom to me is not having to actively work through the trauma of that encounter like it was a near death experience
.
.
The path to freedom and setting yourself free is different for every person. Black mothers have layers to the chains that society binds us in. When I am out in public with my children I am in constant fear that if I do not present myself in a way that is free of judgement then someone will call the police on me and take my children away. So I am using my art to set me free. I am reclaiming the shame over my body and deciding the narrative. I am embracing my sexuality because it strengthens my motherhood. I release the fear of judgement through my art. Freedom to me is not being judged for my way of motherhood.
