Peace this is a dedication.....to all my sistas out there. First I would like to state in the words of Ghostface..."Sometimes a blackwoman just needs to be loved."
Next here are some beautiful inspiring words from one of our own sista-queen Ms. Sonia Sanchez....
We black women have been called many things...Foxes, matriarchs, Saphhires, and recently .....Queens!
I would say that black women have been a combination of all them words.....
'cause if we examine our past history, at one time or another, we've had to be like them words be saying. But today, there are some words we can discard, There be some we must discard,
For our own survival, for our own sanity, For the contribution we must make to our emerging Black nation
And, we must move as the only Queens of this universe
To sustain, keep our sanity, in this insane....messed up....
Diet conscious, pill taking, masochistic
Miss Ann oriented society
Got to be dealt with.
'cause that's us. Y'all hear me? US! Black Women!
The only Queens of this universe
Even though we be stepping unqueenly sometimes
Like....It ain't easy being a Queen in this unrighteous world
Full of....
Miss Anns, and Mister Anns
But we steady trying!
