I don’t want to be a ‘follower’

Constantly ‘reminded’ of social injustices and how to address them, no matter how articulate and charismatic these truths are delivered.

I don’t want to be a little sheep, looking up at this beautiful glowing silvery leader, perched atop the alluring pedestal we have given them.

I don’t want to bleep utterances of “oh your so right, thank the heavens for giving us a leader with such vision”…

Nah, fuck that…

I don’t want to be reminded of any thing… I want to think it and feel it and know it for myself.

I want to sit side by side a leader, who does not remind me of social injustices, but…

A leader who creates dialogue, creating tools to push and challenge and create space for people to feel uncomfortable and think for themselves, comfortably.

I want a leader who makes me question my own assumptions, not feeds me with their own.

I want to see positive change… and change can’t occur with out challenge…

and I can’t be challenged unless I am taught to think on my own…

and I will never think on my own when we pedestal our leaders and

‘follow’…
