Night at the Museum

Bisa Butler’s “If They Don’t Give You a Seat at the Table, Bring a Folding Chair” really hits home for me. Just the title alone invokes strong feelings, especially since I haven’t always felt welcomed by those around me. It’s a powerful reminder to recognize my self-worth and advocate for myself. The quilt’s vibrant colors and lively figures celebrate resilience and community, illustrating the importance of carving out your own space. The folding chair symbolizes adaptability, emphasizing that you can create opportunities for yourself, even when others don’t make room.
