Diana R.A. Morris: Making Black History by Helping People Find Their “Aha” Moment Posted on April 19, 2018November 20, 2023 By Dangerous Lee “Screw doubt and go for it. The worst that can happen is “no.” The best that can happen remains to be seen.” Thus starts my book, Lachesis’ Allotment: A Short Collection of Notes, Observations, Questions, and Thoughts. Drawing from the reality that we’re all granted one life, the book asks what we’re going to do with it. It’s a thank you to the people who have shaped me in more ways than I can count. It’s a dare for everyone to throw caution to the wind and do the thing that scares us the most because that fear lets us know that we have something to lose if it goes wrong, but so much more to gain if it goes right. It’s an opportunity for the light bulb to turn on. I’m making Black history by sharing my journey so others can recognize that they aren’t alone in theirs. As an educator, I help college students make sense of the freedoms, independence, and responsibilities that come with this chapter of their lives. As a freelance editor, I help people identify and give voice to their story, whether that be through resumes that will land them their dream job or books that will be passed down through generations. Each breath we take, each moment we exist, and each interaction we have is history in the making. We are our own storytellers. We write our own narratives. There is nothing more satisfying than being able to look back at tapestry of our life and know that we made the most of every stitch we were allotted. My mission is to help people realize that yes, you belong where you are and yes, your story matters. I’m making history by helping people take their thread and weave a masterpiece.
