Aibileen Clark

“The most dangerous stories we make up are the narratives that diminish our inherent worthiness. We must reclaim the truth about our lovability, divinity and creativity.”

Thought: The Help isn’t a new movie but one character and scene impacted me. Aibileen Clark says to Mae, “you is kind, you is smart, you is important.” I can’t help but think how amazing it would be to have “an Aibileen” tell me those words. How long would it take me to believe them them when I was scared or sad? Now I imagine that Aibileen is me – what do I tell me when I am scared or alone or hopeless? What’s the mantra that gets me through those moments and reminds me of my worth? I don’t need Aibileen; I just need me and my words.
