“For Edna” (2020)
From the album “Forward Music Project” 1.0
When I was asked to participate in this project, I wanted to write a piece that encapsulated the strength of women. At first, I was going to write something physically and aurally demanding — hard; I then realized that our strength is perseverance and endurance, adaptability and openness, and connection to others.
Dedicated to a decolonizing activist historian friend, I wrote this piece thinking about women loving their man who has lost their children; women who have been beaten by men, the system, or both, and who still have the strength to love.
