ourselves and what we believe in.
When we stand up for what’s right or what we believe in, we change the world…our world, by doing what is most necessary to better it. This is how we as Black women make a difference: from the inside out.
By stepping outside of what is comfortable for what is called for, we set off a reaction of small changes that evolve into bigger ones; quiet and reserved at first, then outstandingly vocal with calling for undeniably recognizable needs as essential elements for everyday life for everyone, lifting the silence of those without a voice.
5. Wise women and the legacy of lived experience
After menopause, we are new beings who, with or without children from the womb, can leave behind a legacy of lived experience for children of the present and offspring in the future. We can focus on changing one thing that will have a ripple effect beyond measure, greater than we will ever know.
Gender and sexuality do not trap us or hold us back. We are free to set forth visions grounded in hope. We have waited for such a moment of carved-out peace without compromise to nurture, birth, and cultivate dreams and people.
Education is no barrier if you want to get some. Wealth is not blocked if you work to build some. And social standing is not outside of your grasp if you build up those around you.
