How to Love Yourself

1. Learn to say no. There are two types of people in this world: Those who give, And those who take. Invent an in-between.

2. Dress in whatever makes you happy. Life sometimes throws us curveballs we are unprepared to hit. Don’t let life catch you in high heels When you need to be in tennis shoes. Unless you’re working on your calves, In which case, be careful not to roll an ankle.

3. Love the skin you’re in. You only get one body; Love it. That means eating right, exercising, Not because society tells you to, But because it makes you happy and healthy. Dress your skin in whatever makes it happy. If that’s water color tattoos, fine. If that’s lotion and sun light, great.

4. Make time for friends and family. If we only ever talk to ourselves, We go a little crazy. Find friends and family members Who are good for you. Accept their support, And support them in return. This is what life and love are all about.

5. Learn to take your own advice.

An Ode to Black Mothers

This here is Mother Earth, smelling of soil after quenching showers, anchoring fingers in my hair like roots, caressing my scalp with warm argan oil. This here is Mother Wolf, baring her teeth in the face of nightmares, singing bedtime lullabies composed by the moon, curling around her babies tight, no matter what age. This here is Mother Tongue, teaching us the ancient ways, showing us how to bite and soothe, filling our bellies with sweet sustenence. This here is Mother Militant, wearing her brown skin proudly, fighting for our people, calling me to join her. This, here, is Mother.
