Allow me to Introduce myself
]
I am not your stereotype
Not the "strong Black woman" trope you lean on,
Not the docile damsel you dismiss.
My kindness is not submission;
It's a deliberate act of rebellion.
I will greet you with warmth,
But don't mistake my grace for weakness, because grace is given by the strong at heart
I will uplift you,
But don't think I won't check you, make you see through the third eye in 4D.
Come correct, or don't come at all. Periot.
I am the symphony of my ancestors' prayers,
The manifestation of their wildest dreams, created right under the baobab tree, from the rib of their roots.
And make no mistake, I am not here to make you comfortable;
I am here to be apologetically me. with a liberated soul who speaks only truth to the darkness from the heart of light
So, allow me to reintroduce myself:
I am power wrapped in melanin,
I am softness fortified by fire,
I am the storm you didn't see coming,
I am the calm after the storm, I am the revolution.
I Am unequivocally, undeniably ME!
