My Black Excellence


My Black Excellence is pivotal key to my success

My Black Excellence is a game changing essential to my life

My Black Excellence comes from a long line of writer, poets, musicians, and actors That paved the way for me

My Black Excellence comes from the trenches of black slaves that were taken from there homes and families in Africa and brought to this ‘United Land’ that we call America

My Black Excellence comes from the knees of my ancestors who prayed for me having never even met me

My Black Excellence comes from a grandfather that taught me how to paint before even knowing how to speak

My Black Excellence comes from being told that I can’t be great because I’m a woman

My Black Excellence comes from Maya Angelou saying that ‘I am a phenomenal Women’

My Black Excellence speaks louder than my actions

My Black Excellence is a powerful and meaningful statement and way of life

My Black Excellence is EXTRAORDINARY
