A Queen will nurture the spirit of a King & a King will protect a Queen’s heart... Because they know there’s a war going on and our Queens hearts, and our Kings spirits are two of the main targets. 🖤 #BlackLove

"Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future." 🧡

"you’re not sure if pretending to be the person you want to be is faking or self-love but no matter how one carefully crafts such a character, or how well you cover up the skin underneath, your flesh will always peek through.

you envy those who don’t need a mask or wall to protect them. you try to tell her that when you paint yourself into someone new, it’s because you can't let them see what's underneath. you are playing dress up in your own skin, trying to scribble out who you are.

you have dried and hardened this persona, creating your own trojan horse. but inside, is still a scared little girl, huddled up and shivering from the cold you put inside yourself.

you can no longer find the line between the two of you.

"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." 🖤#makeadifference #justice #oppression ⁣

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." #youareworthy #youareenough #youareimportant #youareloved #youarepowerful #youmatter

"Don't ruin your happiness with worry, and don't ruin your mind with pessimism. Don't ruin your success with deception and don't ruin the optimism of others by destroying it. Don't ruin your day by looking back at yesterday." 🙏🏾 #Jummahmubarak ⁣⁣⁣
