Ha! I used to call it Thanks-taking, too! Now, I call it “another day of giving thanks!” I am thankful for the Ilyanna’s of the world who remind us that privilege is often a locked door you may have to kick in to show people on the other side what they’ve been missing and who they shouldn’t underestimate. Happy Holiday to you, Mami and hubby! Wishing you all peace and continued blessings! 🙏🏽✨🦃🍂
I am thankful to have been introduced to you and your pistol-ness this year. You have inspired me to be more "aggressive" at work and to use the privilege of my title and seniority to point out colleagues' tone policing more regularly. I am trying to be a better advocate for my "unruly" sisters and brothers, pre and post hire. Thanks for using your voice.
Grateful for friends and family and having a place at the table for Thanksgiving. Staying true to yourself and your beliefs is hard. I too have often been branded as "difficult" for speaking up when things aren't right or sticking up for myself. Too many times I wished I was a different kind of person because I honestly think my life would be easier. We are who we are. That is our path to walk. Have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.
Grateful to have Mammie with me also -- some years I don't want to do holidays with people (from many years of being in catering during the holidays). So being home cooking is great and relaxing for me. The cornbread dressing, roast turkey leg, can cranberry sauce and oyster gravy (too afraid to put oysters directly in my dressing), is my must have. Cheers to you and mami on thanksgiving.
