  1. #WinterSolstice offerings for Dad & ancestors 🙏❤️ We have a simple home altar in our living room. We have ceremonial incense stations in our kitchen & both the front & back porches too.
    We have no photographs of my matriarch Grandparents nor my patriarch Grandpa - or else they'd be on the wall too.

  2. Naming a school after someone is not about preserving history, which is permanent and unchangeable, it is a mark of honour.

    Of the billions of people who have lived in the world, a tiny tiny fraction have things named after them. It is, when yiu really think of it, a gigantic honour.

    But honour is always subjective and current, so if it no longer seems the person is honourable based on newly discovered or understood history then the proper thing to do is remove the honour.

    That becomes part of the history which must be preserved and told.

    Racist, violent, colonialists do not deserve to be honoured.
