Abstract
In this creative nonfiction essay, I take account of my transcendental memories from childhood and track its effects on my past, present, and future selves. I engage my personal experiences using Black feminist theory to make visible the weightiness of the intangible inheritances that continue to affect my present life. Despite my trying to relinquish this inheritance, I bear the burden and mark of an insistent past adamant on determining a constrained future. The work of Black feminist theorists and queer thinkers walked so I could run; throughout this essay I locate where and when their work appeared and loosened the reigns of religious, gendered, and other oppressive discourses.
