Break Free Queen

 

 

 

 

So many times, as black women we are afraid to break free. Break free from the path that the world we live in sets for us. It tells us that we must be thin, we must be the right shade to be recognized and accepted. It tells us that we cannot be corporate lawyers, business owners and Pastors. We cannot be empowered to know who we are and what we for ourselves. We are often stereotyped as angry black women who are so bitter to a degree that we always carry an attitude around. We have been rejected through out history, we have abused on so many levels, verbally, emotionally and physically.  Chained to the ideocracy and oppression of those who had hidden agendas to keep us from rising and breaking free.

But we are warriors none the less. We have catapulted off the backs of our black women ancestors that paved the way for us to break free. Women who was destined and determined to blaze a trail for us to follow. Sojourner’s last name was not just truth by coincidence, but by ordination, Sojourner was not even her birth name, it was Isabella Baumfree she  chose and changed her name because she heard the Spirit of God calling on her to preach the truth. Choose your name Queens and preach the truth to yourself and to others, Queen Truth was the first black woman to sue a white man and win! so you see VICTORY has always been ours. She blaze a path for us to have faith, a legacy of strength and fight, fortitude to press forward no matter the fear or obstacles she faced, a Queen in her own rights she earned that rite of passage, she said it best when she penned “Ain’t  I A Woman”? Sisters, my Queens Aren’t You A Woman”? Break free Queen.

We must break free from the roadmaps that others have created for us to follow, where there are roadblocks set up just a head to keep us from reaching our destinations of greatness. Break free from those who would tell you that you are your past. Break free Queen from those who say you must wear the long lashes and lace fronts because they snicker at your natural nappy, kinky that defines the very essence of your caramel, chocolate, honey, mocha coffee creamed colored beautiful skin. They say your hips are to wide, but those hips will birth presidents, and black CEO’s, surgeons, lawyers be it male or female. Those wide hips birth legacies.

Break free Queens from the pattern of putting down our reflections I am She and She is me, I am refereeing to the sisters that are Queens just like we are, she has earned that rite of passage just as we have, hard knock s, abuse, put downs, struggles. She warfare’s just as we do, she bleeds red just as we do. Same shoes different sizes. Break free from allowing those who would wound you to continue to rip off bandages from wounds that will not and can not heal until you stop them. Do not allow others who have garbage to simply come and just dump it in your pathway. We must break free allowing people to disrupt our journeys because they chose to walk a different path, beside everybody was not meant to travel with you anyway.  Break free Queens from speaking negative things over yourself, speak what you are and not what you were. Speak what you want and not what you think you cannot have. Break free from wearing fear as if it is a diamond bracelet around your wrist,  my Queen it’s a chain to keep you manacled to the I don’t think I can do this or I don’t think I can make it.  Break free Queens. Switch your chains of bracelets to a Crown.
