On Jill Scott’s album “Light of The Sun” she has created a Womanifesto that I believe every black woman should listen to and apply to their life. You are a Grand Dame Queen Beast! What is your Womanifesto? Love you, Sistah.

Clearly I am not a fat ass
I am active brain
And lip smacking peach deep
Sometimes too aggressive in its honesty
And heart sweet
That loves wholly and completely
Whom it may choose
Whom ever it may choose

I am not gonna lie and pacify
I am arms to hold
I am lips to speak
I am a muthafucking “G”

Strong legs that stroll off the 33 bus
Or out of a money green Phantom comfortably
Knees that bend to pray
Clean from Ajax washings
Hair that is thick and soft
Thigh that be-twixt
An amazing all expense grand prize

I am eyes that sing
Smile that brightens
Touch that rings
And supply euphoric release
I am a Grand Dame Queen Beast

I am war
I am peace
From the roads of Botswana to 23rd Street
From the inside third eye
Ever watching this wicked wicked system of things
I do see

I am friend to Penn
And a lover of strong women
A diamond to men
I am curious and interested like children
I welcome the wise to teach
Appreciator of my culture
Thick not just from bone dense and eat

I have a rhythm in my ways
And a practice in my seek
And yes I do crave the rhythm of my space
With a man that rejoices in God’s grace

With faith I do hear to listen
Two hands that fist
When forced pushes to shove
And your ego won’t submit

I am gifted
I am all of this
And indeed the shit

Clearly I am not just an ass
