Strong
The things in my life seem nothing more than a complex structure that I can no longer mold
or control.
I am a strong black woman in a world full of deception and criticism.
I am a strong black woman who cannot help to be independent, to have pride in myself.
I am a strong black woman who can understand the problems that we must face and overcome
to reach success.
The fact that I am all these things never ceases to amaze me but amazes others.
Amaze the ones who look down on me not because I possess all these qualities but because
I am black and a women in corporate America that I can stand on my own two feet and let
my opinions be heard.
Time have change this is no longer the 17th century where women must be seen but not heard.
This is no longer the 19th century where blacks must work on plantation and obey there
masters and be suppress from obtain any knowledge about the world.
I am a strong black women and I will fight to overcome all the barriers that surround not
only me but also other black women who feel suppress.
Fight to overcome the hatred, racism and male dominance that are placed not only in the
minds of adults but children that they cannot succeed unless they are a certain color or
gender.
I will fight for all those who can no longer fight for themselves.
As I unite the weak and make them strong with these powerful words of wisdom.
Words that they shall never forget “Strength lies within you and you must find the
courage to override all these hateful remarks to overcome your fears.”
Words that have made an impact in my life when I felt I was not strong enough.
I am a strong black women and I will conquer every challenge that passes by to take
control of my life.
