My Black is Beautiful

Today’s Post

Dictionary.com define

BLACK

as

1. lacking hue and brightness; absorbing light without reflecting any of the rays composing it.

2. characterized by absence of light; enveloped in darkness

 

Well I beg to differ – Black is a shade that define Beauty, Uniqueness, Creativity, Compassion, Self Awareness, Confidence, Equality, God-Fearing, and the list goes on.

 

Bottom Line is

I am a Black Queen and I see nothing about me that lack hue and brightness. Neither do I NOT reflect light. In fact I shine bright like a diamond.

 

My smile is a reflection of Genuine Love.

 

My Dark skin tells me I am a Woman who stands for BOLDNESS, A WARRIOR that comes equipped for all things.

 

My Black Is Beautiful – because I was formed in my mothers womb and for that purpose I can stand tall and walk boldly.

 

My Black has personality, style, a solid foundation, a platform to stand on, Strength, Courage, Brightness, Visibility, Passion, Compassion, Faith, Awareness, Determination……

 

I’ll let the Pictures speak for themselves

 

 

 

This is My BLACK

My Black Is Beautiful

I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.

Overpass

Many times in life we come to places where we feel we can not Conquer. As I look over this OVERPASS I ask myself – Where are these people going? A lot of times we get so comfortable in our fears that it withhold us ~ never allowing us to chase our Dreams. As I stand here I promised myself that I’m going places, unknown places, places I’ve never seen. Just like these people, that I stand here and watch- I’m driven to Succeed.

I’m going places.

Don’t be sheltered people – let’s become who we are Destine to become. Take chances in this Life that’s been given to us.

ENJOY LIFE……You’ll never know what’s out there for you if you never STEP OUT.

  Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.  

Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.

No Holds Barred

Have you ever been told that you will never amount to s**t? Even told you are going to be just like your mama/daddy who just wasn’t the best at parenting, even called the black sheep of the family. Even been told by many of your so called friends that you will never be anything! Are you being cursed by generational curses?

Being stressed by everyday life? Often times I have run across some unpleasant people no matter what.

When I was a child I was told that sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me – Well they did and STILL DO!

But I feel it is definitely time to bury the hatchet. Through my art of fashion every moment that is capture is a reflection of me unleashing scars, and bruises for every single person who has had to encounter any type of abuse.

Let’s Be Bold!  Stand out above all…… and stop letting people rule or have any dominion over our life.

-Conquer your fears-

BE FIERCE and FABULOUS

These lyrics from the Eloquent Jill Scott

Has helped to create a pathway!

What goes around, really do Really does come back around And I’m sorry for what I did to you, You didn’t deserve what I gave you, but I gave it to you I hope you’re ok I hope you’re lovin’ well
Baby, just because you loved and lost Don’t mean stop lovin’ If you have a nightmare, doesn’t mean you stop dreamin’ Don’t give up on love, because of what I did to you I hope you’re ok, I really do
