You won't break my soul.
It isn’t just a song title. It’s a mantra. It’s my mantra. It’s my act of resistance. It’s me saying fuck you to a world that is hell-bent on attacking, belittling, and hurting Black women and girls.
🎶 You won't break my soul
It’s the phrase I repeat when I’m doubting myself. When my energy is low but still expected to show up strong. When my softness is misread as weakness, and my strength is taken for granted. It’s my answer to the questions floating around in my head:
Can you really do this? Did you make the right choice? Are you enough?
🎶 And I'm telling everybody
I’m telling them with my boundaries. With how I protect my peace. With how I try to pour into Black girls, including mine.
I’m telling them with how I show up fully, authentic, tired, healing, whole. With how I choose joy. With how I laugh, even after crying. With how I rest without guilt and love out loud.
For me this mantra is a shield. A declaration. A deep ancestral knowing that I am not here by accident. I have a purpose. Im not here to just survive. I am meant to thrive.
We don't know what comes next however I pray that it's joyous, thrilling, and filled with love.
For me and for you.
♥️
