After the poem below, please read my note about Out-of-Bounds, the book, which I will release in January along with the video snippets of the Out-of-Bounds film, inspired by a TV pilot script with the same name.
To My Sisters, near and far!
I see
Your smile
Your head held high.
The room changing when you come inside
You are my sister
I see
Tears running down your face
Bruises you’ve sustained
Damage done to your heart
You are my sister
I see
Your hard work
Serving others
Expecting nothing in return
You are my sister
I see
Through the darkness
In empty spaces
When you call out His name
You are my sister
I see
The reflection of your triumphs shining
Your achievements carved in God’s palm
You are my sister
You did it
Said it
Wrote it
Administered it
Practiced it
Analyzed it
Changed it
Litigated it
Preached it
Created it
Dramatized it
Bringing it forth
Out of nothing.
You are #Metoo, and I love you.
Out-of-Bounds, the book and digi-series, is for you!
Special Note from Meme Kelly about her new book Out-of-Bounds, its latest name, haha:)
As an African-American woman with a voice, I’ve existed in an Out-of-Bounds space in 2017!
