Excerpt
From: I Am A Woman poem
I am brilliantly beautiful without validation.
My softness is my strength.
Suffering is not a requirement.
I have a right to love and joy that lasts.
Not all is lost and the best things are
waiting to be discovered.
I can do more than recover, but heal.
I can feel with every fiber of my being
and freedom is not an illusion.
I am a woman.
These words hold power.
Chantay, tuck them between your teeth
and bury them in your heart.
Even in death you will find
resurrection.
