Hi Laura,

I'd love to have you join. Either post here or send to me in email: JenaBall@CritterKin.com.

I'm collecting now and will post version 1 soon. After that I will either update it regularly or delete the original and post a new one (so it goes to the top of the list). I haven't decided yet. If I just update, I will let everyone know via a Note but then some folks who don't read Notes or pass to friends via email may get left out. Still pondering ;-)

What a beautiful and powerful message of unity and strength from the Black Ferns. ❤️

Whoa....men. Stop!

The feminine energy is rising growing stronger.

Fight no more with us.

See our worth,

our value,

our strength.

We are not the enemy

Your greed and

power hunger has poisoned you.

The enemy is within yourselves.

We, the women of the world, are the lights of life

Through us generations are born

Quietly, for too long, doing what had to be done to ensure survival

But now, the Universe has spoken!

Women, rise up.

Claim your rightful place.

Let it be known that you will

NOT BE SILENCED

You are welcome. I find Haka very empowering. Can you imagine what the orange pustule would do if confronted with a team of Māori rugby players chanting about the strength of women? LOL

I keep imagining men and women alike uniting to chant and dance in response to and to face down the lies, hatred, racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, and every other kind of cruelty and ignorance we face. Together we are a powerful force for kindness and healing.
