![]() ![]() The OS family “freeschools” - the parents want to raise the girls to be “free within themselves,” to paraphrase Langston Hughes-to love who they are, know they are loved as they are, and be fully who they can be. The Block Party also reminds me of the many, many NYC festivals, parades, block parties, etc, that we enjoyed…Oh! And the “presentations” that the girls do are a lot like the ones we did, like the reluctant performances at holiday gatherings, or the “persuasive” essays/speeches that I’d sometime have to do in order to make a case to my dad about some event or activity that I wanted to do. Soca was our Saturday morning cleaning soundtrack, and I also have fond memories of dancing with my mom and other family members to Boney M’s “Brown Girl In The Ring” and we’d take turns being that “Brown Girl” in the center, getting hyped by other family members. ![]() ORP: I think that might be the scene of Bo’s first dinner/sleepover, when they’re in the living room singing and dancing along to soca. ![]()
