Everything is NOT your RESPONSIBILITY 🫶

They didn’t know you were a seed (A Poem for Black Women)

They tried to bury you beneath the earth,

Unaware of the power in your rebirth.

A seed of potential, hidden from sight,

Waiting to rise toward the light.

Through layers of soil, you pushed your way,

Emerging stronger every day.

Roots deepening, branches spread wide,

Reaching upward with quiet pride.

In the face of storms, you stood tall,

Embodying strength through it all.

Leaves unfurling, vibrant and true,

A testament to all you can do.

In the garden of life, you make your stand,

A story of resilience crafted by hand.

Though once buried, you now proceed—

They didn’t know you were a seed.

... Read moreIn the contemporary discourse around empowerment and resilience, the metaphor of a seed serves as a powerful symbol for growth and potential, especially for Black women who have often faced unique challenges. This poem encapsulates the journey of emerging from hardship, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and strength. The imagery of roots deepening and branches spreading wide reflects a connection not only to personal growth but also to community resilience. In the face of societal storms, the act of standing tall represents a rejection of societal limitations and an embrace of one's identity. Furthermore, various organizations and movements such as the Black Girl Magic initiative highlight the achievements and contributions of Black women across diverse fields. These narratives help cultivate a supportive community that celebrates individual and collective accomplishments. Engaging with such content fosters a sense of belonging and encourages women to share their stories. As we continue to uplift each other, it's crucial to recognize the significance of representation and authenticity in all spaces, ensuring that every voice is heard and appreciated. Thus, this poem not only speaks to personal empowerment but also to the broader movement of advocating for the rights and recognition of Black women in society.
