I Am...


I am a Woman

I am Black

I am a Daughter of a teenage mother

I am a Daughter of a single black woman

I am Myself

I am Driven

I am Smart

I am a College Student

I am Inspired

I am Strong

I am Willing to fight for everything that I believe in

I am Willing to push myself to all limits in order to defy the odds that are against me

I am Not a teenage mother

I am Not a high school drop out

For I have already defyed those odds

I will Continue to prosper so that

I may be the best Woman I can be

For that, I am Jasmine Purifoy
