A faded cherub

 I love this faded cherub on the corner of a gravestone in North Merchiston Cemetery.

    New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “The man who knows himself fears no one.” Zora Neale Hurston lived that truth. In a time when everyone wanted her to fit the mold, she refused. She listened to her people, wrote their stories, and trusted her own voice when others called it shame. That’s what knowing yourself looks like—work grounded in truth, not approval. Share this with someone who is keeping our wisdom alive. Comment below: What wisdom have you learned that no textbook ever taught you? What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “The man who knows himself fears no one”? He meant that confidence grows from self-knowledge, not permission. What did Zora Neale Hurston show us about authenticity? That being true to your roots can cost you approval but win you freedom. What’s the lesson in her story? Know yourself so deeply that others’ opinions lose power over you.
