I don’t believe this world can fully comprehend the extensive damage that it has done to black families. Many times, it is The Black Woman, who is left to carry on and be the Woman and The Man. In many instances, it is not a man’s choice to be incarcerated. They may do something petty and get life in prison or do nothing at all and be killed by a bad cop. People are quick to point out how angry Black Women are, well damn it…We should be. Who would be happy with Systemic Racism and Everbody having a pass to Disrespect us? First Slavery and now another form of it. This poem is dedicated to All Black Women. I pray for our strength to keep fighting the good fight.
Remember: We are “Women”, we can be choicey, silly, sassy, moody, classy, hood, damsels In distress…any damn thing we want. Hell yeah, we are strong. But, We don’t have to take a bunch of bull or prove anything to anybody anymore. My strong Aunt taught me…We all put on our pants one leg at a time. The Bible says: When we are weak, that’s when we are STRONG. 💪🌹💕🙏🏽

“The most disrespected person in America is the Black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the Black woman. The most neglected person in America is the Black woman.” (Thank you —Malcolm X)
(Holy Bible) 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
