Kimberly, there are no words, but I'll try. I am so deeply honored that you expanded my poem into a bigger piece of art. Using metaphor, you collaborated with my poem to create this powerful work of protest and hope. It moves me to tears every time I watch it. Thank you.

Mary Lee Hahn, thank you for allowing me to take your poem and make "my mark" on it Once I read your poem, I knew immediately what I needed to make this video about. It was an honor to use your words and add a different perspective on it. Thank you again for donating your poem.

Mary Lee Hahn,
I'd like to add that I thought the line "Not knowing some think they're a weed." to be a brilliant line.

Marisa, I have always thought poetry was the gateway to depth and emotion. Poetry, for me, has always been the kind of literature that makes me "feel" something when I read it. After reading this poem, I felt a heavy and important need to connect the poem to the BLM movement. Thank you for your kind comment, Marisa.

The footage with the poem just gave me chills. What a beautiful way to make Mary Lee's wise words into a much bigger and more powerful piece of wart.

Thank you Tanita! It was Mary Lee Hahn's words that sparked the idea for this poem. Once I had the idea in my head, I could not unsee it. I know it is not exactly appropriate for the age group in which the poem was intended for, but the message is too important to ignore.

At first I thought I was waiting to have the news feed end, then I realized Mary Lee's poem was there. I started over! I will share but hope this will be seen so, so many places. Your small cherita, Mary Lee, just exploded, thanks to Kimberly T.

What a collaboration. This work deserves to be part of curricula everywhere, in so many disciplines, for so many ages and stages. Outstanding, both of you.
