Black women are living miracles. Historically, you were not supposed to be here but by the grace of God and the spirit of your ancestors you made it. Yes they killed a lot of our ancestors. You're here on divine assignment. You are thriving in your own bloodline. Whatever you do, you are going to make it. You have a very special magic threaded inside of you. Use it!
I do understand how those outside of our community lust after anything that is the antithesis of positive and all things that gives them great ratings but I want to applaud all those black moms who naturally help other women in their personal lives and community. We have an abundance of mothers who are the overseers of many organizations that help other women and girls; who tirelessly mentor and feed young women powerful energy. Thank you! I also want to acknowledge the magic of our elders. Our moms, our grandmothers (my Lula), my great 104 years old aunt, all of our aunts, all of our sisters, Godmothers, and friends who are mothers. They continue to use their time and gifts to empower other black women and girls. Sometimes it is in the stories they tell us. We find hidden gems of wisdom. Other times it is living by example. Either way, black women who are moms are drenched in melanin magic miracles.
I am slowly drifting away from these "distraction holidays." I didn't have a theme for this year's mom's day. I usually have a theme every year when I write about Mother's Day because this subject was the inception to my journey as a writer. Even if I do completely decide to do away with it, I reserve the right to do so and revamp myself. Thank you for all you do. If you are ever in need of the magic that is in you just read some of this!
