I am a flower breaking ground.

Don't let anyone shame you into becoming hopeless. It's ok to be hopeful. Hope doesn't deny reality. You're simply allowing space for your optimism to become the reality.

A healed Black woman is a force to be reckoned with.

Whatever good you have to bring into the world will be beneficial and it will be more than enough.

I used to criticize my body for everything I felt it wasn't. Now, I praise my body for what it has carried me through.

As a black woman, the decision to love yourself just as you are is a radical act. And I'm as radical as they come.
