When the mask falls off
the smile fades
the truth is revealed
BELIEVE IT.
You do not have to be considered:
- beautiful
- talented
- fair-skinned/light-skinned
- curvy/shapely/fit
- white
to be considered a woman.
Those lies continue to be perpetuated by males and insecure women.
These lies have only ever served males and never in all of history served women on a long-term basis.
To hear the truth, try to keep company with people who support you in all that you are. In your womanhood. In your right to speak. In your female authority to speak about the things of womanhood.
