🔥 Soulful Affirmations Rooted in Sacred Love of Black Women
I will not call oppression “a difference of opinion.” My spirit is too mighty to shrink to that small.
Love is not love when it asks me to deny my own existence rooted in divinely created love and reality. My love is strong, but so is my boundary.
I rise each day with the certainty that my humanity is not negotiable.
Where others build walls of hatred, I build altars of truth. My voice is my offering.
I am not here to beg for belonging. I belong because I am.
Disagreement ends where my dignity begins. The line is drawn in my soul, and it cannot be erased.
To live in my truth is to honor every ancestor who refused to bow, every child yet to be born who deserves to stand tall.
My love is fierce—it heals, it nurtures, it builds. But it will never coddle cruelty or embrace erasure.
When they call my survival “controversial,” I answer with thunder: My existence is not up for debate.
I walk with rhythm, I breathe with grace, I move with the certainty that justice has always been the most soulful groove.
I am not obligated to smile at the hand that strikes me. My joy is reserved for those who honor my being. Because it must be mutual, you understand.
Love without justice is counterfeit. I walk only with the real thing.
I do not confuse silence with peace. My voice is peace, my truth is peace, my freedom is peace.
They may try to name me “angry,” “bitter,” or “difficult,” but my name is carved in stone: Survivor, Dreamer, Child of God.
My spirit will not bend to make oppression comfortable. My song will not soften to make hatred palatable.
I know this: the earth has been turning on the power of people who refused to disappear. I am one of them.
