WHO I AM!


I am smart

I am beautiful

My mind is deep

Don't be fooled by the color that covers me

These deep brown eyes and silk skin

More than a beauty prize

Beyond your wildest imagination

My self worth is IMPORTANT

To know my self worth

Is to know my ability to conquer the world

Sharing with other women to help them rise

Afro big and makeup loud

Oh Yes I AM proud!

To be who I am

Speak how I speak

Exposing who I am, I am a true woman

My heart speaks deeply

Take this journey and you will meet

A stone cold "sista" who is nothing but unique

Look at me and viciously judge

Shockingly you will be surprised

Stand tall, and watch my fellow women rise

My beauty emerges from beneath

Come and find

The mother, daughter, and friend in me
