I AM...

I am adopted 

I am not unwanted, broken, or rejected 

I am loved, appreciated and valued. 

I am Black 

I am not unwanted, ugly, or unworthy 

I am beautiful, cherished, and strong.

I am Hispanic

I am not uneducated, ignorant, or loud 

I am vibrant, happy, and cultured.

I am a woman 

I am not less than a man, I do not need a man. 

I am radiant, independent, and oh so Lovely. 

I am struggling

I'm not weak, hopeless and defeated. 

I'm not done just yet; 

I AM JUST BEGINNING.

I AM RESILIENCE
