Our fast ended on Wednesday morning, but Gema in Grand Rapids has continued to fast. Fasting has shown me that withholding food builds resolve, it makes a statement to others, but most importantly, it makes a statement to yourself. Fasting puts your body in the fight. When you feel weak and tired, you say to yourself that it is a choice that you have made.
You make the choice to bring a fight inside close to your vital organs. It is the deepest statement that you can make about a commitment. I am so proud of Gema Lowe. I am so proud of my sisters in arms, the 106 women that fasted last week at the We Belong Together #womentogether 48 hour fast in Washington, DC.
