The moment...

 

The moment in your life when you realize all that had happened has prepared you for what is about to take place and you take a deep breath and smile. You are aware that it wasn’t your degrees that equipped you but the life experiences of being a poor black girl from the inner city being a witness of crime, addiction, and abuse. In those years was when the seed was planted that would make me a rarity, a jewel, a light. In those years I was becoming who I am today. Who would of... ever thought the unloved and voiceless would be surrounded by so much love and her words would be making room for her. I am aware that it is not my accolades that qualify me for what I am walking into cannot be taught or imitated but rather a divine experience that was ordained just for me. Those things I endured and once despised has been repurposed and I’m not even mad about it. Today I tell God ‘Thank You’ because of the hand I was dealt I will make my mark as a believer, as a mother, as a wife, as a writer, and as a CEO. ‪#‎EvenEbony‬ #2016
