Who Am I

I am who I am, and that’s where I stand so proud to be an African woman. My color describes me, and I hold great power to be fearless and brave towards what I may encounter. I’m like a lion in the jungle in control of myself. I portray strong life, strength and health. I rule my actions, I rule my thoughts, and I fight to give it all that I’ve got. I am who I am, and that’s where I stand so proud to be an African woman. I’ve got goals and ambitions and strong motivations to always persevere in my every motion. I am an independent woman so free to give the world me. When I look at myself I see power, I see pride and dignity. I see a child of God and her destiny.
