Black Womens Quote For Life


I am black, beautiful, and unique because this is how God wanted to make me
I have no problem with showing my strength as a woman for you to see

I may not have control over others, but I always have control over myself
I will look in my mind and remove my fears from the corners of my shelf

I will shape my life, and not leave that in the hands of others
I will recite this in my actions to all my present and future lovers

I choose to be happy, because I do not want to be sad
I will not settle for the used-to-beens and hads

I will love myself and my children, because I want others to do the same
I will stand up for what I believe, and I will have no shame

I will listen to what my mind and heart have to say
I am worthy of love and respect, because as a black woman,
I will have it no other way
