Fam, my people (on my momma’s side) are from the South — Locust Grove, Georgia.
But I’m a city girl — Raised in Detroit, Michigan.
Yet somehow when Sistah and I took our second sister trip 13 years ago…
And I hopped up on a horse for the first time…
I took to it like a bee to honey.
Guess that’s why I loved #IdrisElba’s “#ConcreteCowboy so much.
Because that movie – like my first experience horseback riding – returned me to myself.
The self I had forgotten.
The self I didn’t even know was there.
Treat yourselves to the movie, Fam. Maybe it’ll wake up the concrete cowboy or cowgirl in you, too.
