Marcie I’ve been on a journey of listening for a little while now. So I can absorb it all. What a challenge! Anyway, I’m breaking my silence fast only to let you know that I love you. I appreciate you. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

I picked up some substitute teaching at a public school and feel that the first lady's portrait, the quote from homecoming, and the artist biography are perfect for an art and art history lesson and there is nowhere near enough content like this. Also the youtube viral clip of the little girl seeing this. I promise I won't distribute your copywrited content directly but would like to use as blueprint and guide for myself of going to and citing original sources, so I am asking if I can use the quotes and only cite the direct source! That way I will not distribute your material directly but use it as These are things that need to be taught about! But I also need to make sure I'm not overstepping and give credit where it's due. Sigh. The line between plagiarism of creative work, giving creative credit, requires courage and discretion. And just getting content and word out is hard so I mention here. Either way you inspired me and I wish to thank you and will honor and respect your work and those of the artists and writers you bring. We need to get the word out but also give credit so that's why I'm tripped up a little bit here. I don't want to quote or ask to print or cite your bible study directly for public school content but the people need to be talked about and I am not the one who thought of this idea I absolutely got it from reading your work.

Matthew, feel free to use whatever you’d like for your class. I only curated articles and interviews. It’s really not my work. Peace, friend.
