between a myrtle and a star,
i choose to envision woman as a calendar day,
savvy enough to observe her place in the universe
Â
and radical enough to serve the creation of a new world
Â
and break slavery’s chain.
Â
we are worth more than every title and role assigned.Â
Â
and when we choose our life and call out our true name, we master time, becoming the ultimate maker of our fate.
Â
each of us has the power
to be a woman,
to be a human being
to decide
and to accept nothing less.
