“Humanism is what makes Rainbow unique. Group members are stuck together 24/7 and troubles do arise, but we want to show ourselves as one. We made a vow that we will be on stage as one as well.”

I think that having a mother is better. She would put me on top of her shoulders. If the boys bother me, she will scold them. When I was younger, I didn’t have a father. That’s why, instead of my dad, my mom would fight the grandma who owned the house, the neighborhood boys’ moms, and also the drunken men. On the days like that, she would put me to sleep, then cried. That’s why, I didn’t like a mom who fought. Because after a fight, I know there’s always crying. But even though she always lost, my mom kept fighting. Even the day after she cried, she would fight again. She does it for me; to protect me. If something happens to my mom, I won’t be able to live.

This is my submission for the APB - Artists Against Police Brutality book - with John Jennings and Bill Campbell. Please take the time to read about the victims in the subsequent posts.
