A poem by Ethel M. Caution, published in The Crisis in 1929: "Last night I danced on the rim of the moon/Delirious and gay,/Quite different from the mood/I wear about the day.//Athwart my vibrant body/A chiffon cloud I flung,/Diaphanous and azure,/With starpoint brilliants hung.//And oh! my feet flew madly! /My body whirled and swayed!/My soul danced in its ecstacy/Untrammeled, unafraid!//Last night I danced on the rim of the moon/Delirious and gay;/Then slipped into my sober self/Just ere the break of day."

Ethel M. Caution-Davis, from the 1912 yearbook of Wellesley College; a young Black woman with hair parted center and dressed to the nape, wearing a white blouse with a high collar

Was a treat to have Hawaii drag artist Tora Hamstring lead our warm-up exercise exercises before this morning‘s walk. How’s about those boots huh? We gave her a prize for showing up and being so fabulous. That’s YWCA CEO Kathleen McGilvray mirroring the warm up moves. #Hawaii #YWCA

Had a terrific turn out today for the YWCA of Hilo Walk A Mile In Her Shoes. Mayor Mitch Roth and members of the police and fire department showed up and walked the walk. We even managed to dodge the Hilo rain! Mahalo to everyone who turned out! #Hawaii #YWCA #WalkAMilesInHerShoes

Saturday morning walking! YWCA Walk A Mile In Her Shoes. More to come… #Hawaii #YWCA

Taking part in the YWCA walk a mile in her shoes this weekend. I love these Beetlejuice Beetlejuice high heels they made for me. #ywca #hawaii

The filing on behalf of #YWCA #Kalamazoo in the Court of Claims comes 2 days after a judge in the SAME COURT blocked enforcement of other state #regulations on abortion in an order that found the state's 24-hr waiting period, #InformedConsent requirements & a ban on #abortions performed by advance practice clinicians violated the state's voter-approved #RightToAbortion.
