Possessing the partial genes and interrupted nurturing of 2 severely hurt, damaged, forgotten people does not create a whole person, but a fragmented one. One with limited dreams that can only be realized at a great cost and joy, that may never be realized because survival doesn’t give way to evolution or the privilege of peace. Where reward or healing morphs into punishment at a moment’s notice. Or maybe there are no dreams, only nightmares in costume. This is generational trauma from a griot.
A frenetic journey to peace and acceptance.
