Grown
Woman
“Grown woman, speak goodness over yourself, using words that are great and beautiful.
Recite them out loud, write them down, meditating on their meanings until they become one with your very soul.”

The Alchemist
“Grandmother, the alchemist,
you spun gold out of this hard life, conjured beauty from the things left behind.
Found healing where it did not live.
Discovered the antidote in your own kitchen.
Broke the curse with your own two hands.
You passed these instructions down to your daughter who then passed it down to her daughter.”
– Warsan Shire
Because I adore you...

We celebrate you
We
Speak your names
“We are here to speak your names because of the way you made for us.
Because of the prayers you prayed for us.
We are the ones you conjured up, hoping we would have strength enough,
and discipline enough, and talent enough, and nerve enough to step into the light when it turned in our direction, and just smile awhile."
