A Black Woman Free (Poem)

A Black Woman Free
by Dorothea A. Manley 
copyright 2014

 A black woman free is a force of nature too great to scale or measure
A nubian princess running through the desert of life to come upon the spring that refreshes her soul and offers her such great treasure 
IT is MY pleasure to be in the midst of royalty when I see my ebony sistahs stepping in and out of roles too vast to unfold or unpack
Within her you know there is no lack but an abundance of rain watering the earth as the drops fall upon rich soil
Yes, rich shit that she has masterfully turned into nourishment that supports the foundation on which she STANDS not as sands
But her steps are upon concrete sheets so certain that God himself could use them as His platform
A black woman free, she is the epitome, the center, the nucleus, the creme de le creme!
She is the is and the always will be... A black woman free is me.

Me Too... My Story

Yeah... Me too... When I see this I can't help but think that I am one of millions. As I reflect back on my own experience and I relive the pain for being raped, I get a little indignant, a little confused, sad and overwhelmed. Truly, I am not completely healed from my 2006 experience. I am, however, on the right path. How do I know? I don't want him dead any more. I want him out of my head and away from my emotions - but I don't want him dead. My experience began as a friendly meet up to go have drinks and party a little bit as I was a tad bit depressed and just needed to get out of my own head, so-to-speak. We were meeting at his house and then off to the Wild Hair in Wicker Park. I was truly looking forward to a different experience with someone whom I trusted to take care of me. You see, the guy who assaulted me was a friend, a brother. We sang at church together and we laughed all of the time. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HURT ME THE WAY THAT HE DID...N...

GOOD MORNING! In my morning meditation walk at work, I was encouraged by Holy Spirit to remember and to remind you that GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN US THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD! I want to encourage you to NEVER let anyone or any circumstance outside of you change, manipulate, contort or distort who God (CREATOR) created you to be! YOU ARE: Fearfully and wonderfully made and nothing less The head and not the tail and nothing less Above and not beneath and nothing less The righteousness of God and nothing less The manifested hope of times past and nothing less BECAUSE GOD IS GREATINYOU, YOU ARE GREATER THAN WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND NOTHING LESS! Head up! Shoulders back! Chest out! Now, let's go get it! Loving YOU to Life! Dorothea Manley, Project Speak Life
