my heart is speaking, i'm just taking notes.: fuck it, just love it.

wise words from a wise woman.

For two or three years I was away from all social interaction. It was a very introspective time because I had to confront my fears and master every demonic thought about inferiority, about insecurity or the fear of being black, young and gifted in this western culture. It took a considerable amount of courage, faith and risk to gain the confidence to be myself. I had to deal with folks who weren’t happy about that. I was a young woman with an evolved mind who was not afraid of her beauty or her sexuality.For some people that’s uncomfortable. They didn’t understand how female and strong work together. Or young and wise. Or Black and divine.
