I refuse to practice mediocrity
due to your discomfort with my presence.
If you have a problem with my ability,

Your fight is my fight, your struggle is my struggle, and to know that we have a struggle, is to know that we will make it somewhere, someday!
I love you for your wisdom and your courage to be able to express yourself in words. I sometimes fear that journey of writing and poetry. I hope that by reading your work, I will some day have to same power to put my feelings on paper and recite them. Keep doing what you do best, which is being a Black Educated Woman!
Know that I will be a supporter until the end.
Love ya,
Renita
