I am not Self Made. I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors. I nourish my soul with their sacrifices. And I light MY OWN way with their spirit. I bathe in the Blood, Sweat, and Tears they paid for my FREEDOM. I changed my name and life that was given to me, and FROM THE GROUND UP, created who I am today. My family disowned me, but I never felt alone. My ancestors’ defiance runs thru my veins. I am a Proud, Wide- Nose, Full Lips, Cotton Hair, Blackityy Black Queen. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾l
