Q

Même moi, je suis dans un processus où je suis pas capable d’envoyer ma demande. J’ai pas fait appuyer, puis envoyer. Parce que c’est pas ça qui va ramener ma langue qu’on m’a arrachée, c’est pas ça qu’on va m’enlever les personnes qui ont volé mon âme parce que trop de nuits sont passées puis qu’ils me l’ont arrachée. Alors que si j’avais été la magicienne, j’aurais dit l’argent est important, mais comment on peut guérir ce qu’on a arraché ? Mon rêve, moi je sais, je veux y arriver là. On nous a appris qu’on n’était pas bons, qu’on était paresseux et violents, alors qu’on est bien d’autres choses ! Alors, d’enlever ces biais-là ou ces préjugés-là et… On voit des jeunes qui disent « Je suis pas sûr moi que c’est la reine que je veux voir sur mon piastres ; je veux voir Mary May Simon, je veux vous voir ». Là, faut tout que je déprogramme mon enseignement. Ah c’est… Des gens viendraient ici puis feraient des liens.

A

Even I am in a process where I am not able to send my application. I didn’t press and send. Because that’s not going to bring back my tongue that was ripped out of me, that’s not going to take away the people who stole my soul because too many nights went by and they ripped it out of me. If I had been the magician, I would have said money is important, but how can you heal what you have taken away? My dream, I know, I want to get there. We have been taught that we are not good, that we are lazy and violent, when we are many other things! So, to remove these biases or these prejudices and… We see young people who say “I’m not sure that it’s the queen I want to see on my dollar bill; I want to see Mary May Simon, I want to see you”. Now I have to cancel my teaching. Ah, that’s… People would come here and then make connections.
