A sistah keeps it real (100) and she is very authentic to who she is. She as hat natural sistah-girl swagger, but by no means is she ever inappropriate. She is a force to be reckoned with. I encourage sistah’s not to change any of these attributes because it was born from centuries of strength, resilience and confidence. It was necessary to survive the oppression of the world and still raise families, work and live. It’s our DNA. You are fly effortlessly.
There are times when people try to strip real sistah’s of that thing that distinguishes us and makes us special. There is nothing wrong with you, you are strength, you are inspiration, you are love, just the way you are. So, the next time someone suggest that you are broken, just remember that your essence is wonderful, and by all means please don’t lose your swagga, sistah!
Dr. MayaAngelou states it best in her poem, “Phenomenal Woman.”
It’s the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And, the joy in my feet,
I’m a woman.
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman.
That’s me.
Cheers!
