I am a super woman.
It took me many years to be at peace with who I am. Today and evermore, I have vowed to stop apologizing. Make no mistake about it, I am a strong black woman. I am a force to be reckoned with. I love, live and give hard. My strength, my strategic mind and my heart are not mutually exclusive. I am all of it, and I am grateful to have found my voice. I am grateful to have found the greatest sense of worthiness I have ever known. I’ve had pain, hard times, and I’ve entertained people who tried to convince me to water/dumb it down for far too long. To them I politely decline. No, thank you. I choose to be free.
