If I do/say/wear/experience it, it is feminine for I am woman.
If I do/say/wear/experience it, it is black for I am black.
If I do/say/wear/experience it, it is human for I am human.
There is no right or only way to be woman, black, and/or human. It is up to me to navigate my womanhood, blackness, and humanity in ways that feel true and good to my being. I owe protection and authenticity to myself. I am worthy of my own advocacy, and I am a knowledgeable, formidable advocate.
P.S.:
(1) That gray strand is my favorite strand.
(2) Living alone is a challenge and reward.
(3) Fraiser will always have a place in my home.
