Words of Encouragement for Women of Colour (who are scared to share their words)

Scared to peep out from under the covers in case our words or presence causes offence.

We often hold ourselves back, afraid to make a stand, shine a light and write and share our work.

Yet there comes a day, a spark of light touches our heart and we know that this is the day, the season and time to say enough is enough.

We hold our pens and declare:

I am alive. I am here to make a difference. I am the breeze in the wind, the ripple in the wave, the roar in the lion.

We look in the mirror of self-love, smile at our reflection and recommit to the truth:

I am ready to open my heart;

To honour my words, the messages inside;

To nurture my spirit, take a stand and surrender to the living word.

Will, you, dear writer-friend, dear woman of colour and other marginalised women, join the writers and artists, healers, entrepreneurs and more… will you take a stronger stand in your life?

You too have a story to share, a gift, a message to inspire and encourage the world.

Will you be the change your heart longs to be and share your words with humanity?

You can do it.

I believe in you.

Thank you.

And here are some writers who encourage me to stand, heal myself, and use my words to uplift, support others to stand and heal: Melanie J. Jessica A and Tosin Sanusi and Agnes Laurens

Read their words and be inspired. Thank you.
