Not Sold 4 Parts

I am smart, I may not have attended an Ivy League school or graduated from high school with honors or straight "A's" or even college for that matter, but I know how to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. And I can show you how to make flour into to pancakes.  Survival skills I have learned growing up in Chesapeake, Va.

My eyes are hazel with a slant,  I get them from my Great-Grandmother a Shoshone Indian from what I am told.

My high cheek bones, they were her gift also.

My lips not to big but not to thin.  I have a round face with some chubby cheeks.

My big open heart I definitely get from my mom.  She taught me how to love and treat everyone like family. I am so trusting its my gift and curse. I welcome everyone in with open arms and a heart full of joy.

My hips I recently acquire from my son Anon, they are taking some getting use to but I love them all the same.

Biggie said it best "Petite but that ass phat" yeah I wear that badge of honor proudly I get that from my momma hey that's a song title too isn't it.

A wise woman once told me that "they pay to get the body, "we" have so "we" need to embrace it.

I have the exotic features you see on the video models, Hell I could be a video model.

All of these traits and more make up the woman that you see. You can't just pick and choose which part of me you want at any given time.

I am strong, intelligent, beautiful, loving, and kind.  I will not be sold 4 parts.

  1. I'm hoping this blog touches the masses and sparks thought and much needed conversation about the need for women to stop allowing a portion of themselves to be used and abused and realize that they are sacred individuals that deserve to be nurtured and respected and loved as a complete package and not in bits and pieces.
