"- Charles Bukowski, “Only You”nobody can save you but
yourself.
you will be put again and again
into nearly impossible
situations.
they will attempt again and again
through subterfuge, guise and
force
to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly
inside.nobody can save you but
yourself
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don’t, don’t, don’t.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
being?
do you want to experience
death before death?nobody can save you but
yourself
and you’re worth saving.
it’s a war not easily won
but if anything is worth winning then
this is it.think about it.
"
think about saving your self.

Jeff Duncan-Andrade - Growing Roses in Concrete
“1 in 3 urban youth display the symptoms of mild to severe PTSD. And when you compare that data to the military data what you find is urban youth are actually twice as likely as soldiers returning from Iraq to get PTSD.”
This presentation is crucial to educators interested in the future and empowerment of inner-city youth of color. View the entire video here.
Dr. Duncan-Andrade is a professor at San Francisco State University. He also teaches at a high school in Oakland for free and has recently collaborated w other teachers to open http://rosesinconcrete.org/. His research is amazing and he’s woke AF. I was lucky to have him as a professor at SFSU.
He’s def life changing…This is powerful.
Keep this post going. It’s so crucial.
