Dear Black Woman,

Keep it real and be unapologetic.  Don't be hurtful - insensitive, inconsiderate, or inaccurate. Instead keep it simple - framed in love and rooted in truth. First with yourself and then with those around you. My most beautiful and nurturing black woman, understand that you are the catalyst within all your roles and relationships. Eyes are always on you and fingers pointed at you. It is from you that others thrive. It is also you that others hold in contempt due to their own stagnation and insecurity. I understand my love, often you find yourself in a damn if you do, and damn if don't situation. My love hold, your peace. Sweet black woman, hold your head up high, fix your crown, and walk into your purpose.

Please do not feel guilty for desiring and obtaining more. Please my precious black woman do not feel guilty for being unable to rescue everyone who claims to need you. And please my dear black woman do not look back at any piece of your life with a lens of regret. Learn from your experiences and move as the force that you are, have always been, and will continue to be. There are no more discounts to be given on your behalf. My dearest black woman, YOU are more precious than rubies and nothing compares to you. Your creation was purposeful and you are more than enough. You are of immense value. Recognize it. Cultivate it. Own it. It is your magic. Dear black woman, I want you to love you the way you deserve in God's eyes. I want you to rescue you before anything else. I want you to never settle. To never compromise. To never compare. Dearest black woman,I want you, healthy and whole.

Please do not feel guilty for desiring and obtaining more. Please my precious black woman do not feel guilty for being unable to rescue everyone who claims to need you.
