To the Daughters of Zion

“A black woman’s love for herself is not a fad. Because fads, fade away just as quick as they came. Nor is it a trend or a fashion statement, because trends often change and go out of style, depending on the generations that sets them. A black woman’s love for herself reaches depths that can be seen and felt by any woman, man or child that encounters it. It is not contingent upon the views of man or society, but a more simple acceptance that we have often ignored for hundreds of years. It’s a detox from every negative thing that you have seen and heard about who you are. The erasing of a misconstruction photo, that has misrepresented the the true nature of a black woman’s virtue. And although we once remained blind to the beauty that existed within ourselves, because my sisters have awaken. No longer to be boxed in, because now she understands that she were born to stand out. A black woman’s love for herself is simply what it is, a love for herself. And not the love of an idea of what she ought to be. This is not a movement, but a way of life.”
