Excerpt: "A Strong Black Woman Am I not sexy? Am I not beautiful? Tell me Could I be too sassy? Should I be what society makes me seem or should I be who I was born to be Me, a strong black, Independent, Phenomenal woman Who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go and get it I was not put in this world to be misused and abused but to be treated Like a rose with love and respect Should I think low of myself because I am a woman?"
