Death has a Voice

For many of us, working with death is an act of resistance. It is our way of reclaiming our space, our bodies, our lives and ourselves – death work and death activism in all its forms is a feminist act.

Muslim womxn are not disposable. Black and brown womxn are not disposable. We are not disposable. We deserve futures. We deserve long lives. We deserve hopes and dreams. End islamophobia in Latinx communities. End antiblackness in Latinx communities. End misogyny in Latinx communities. If you haven't already contributed to help Nabra's family, I am putting the link in my bio. ❤️ Vicki Thompson-Simmons, and Lynda Thompson-Lindsay manage the Lawrence H. Woodward Funeral Home in Brooklyn. . . 'After death, black bodies in America have often been displayed in grotesque and dehumanizing ways — from public lynchings to Michael Brown left lying for hours on hot pavement in Ferguson, Mo. The Thompsons seek to reverse that painful legacy: commemorating, honoring and restoring dignity to members of their community upon dying in a way that can elude them in life. . . “Our society has become immune to death in the black community. We want people to understand we have history and our lives matter.” . . Via NYT article 'Dignity in Death for Black Families at a Brooklyn Funeral Home' by Noah Remnick. Photo by Dave Sanders.
