I discovered self love

I experienced hate 

I observed unity 

I saw destruction  

I overcame insecurities

I felt false hope 

I heard you’re not good enough 

I learned women can be anything 

I understood that being black is something worth celebrating than oppressing 

I established within myself that I don’t have to be a statistic 

I am enough 

I am a free spirit 

I realized that you can be any size or shape 

I will never give up 

I am stronger than they perceive me 

I love me
