Women Down to Me

Women Down to Me.
Lol let me explain something.
The people in my life who have impacted me the most are women. My beautiful mother raised me to be this great human I am. She did it with the help of my grandmother, who instilled in me values. I was molded into someone who was etched with distinction. I remember seeing in the beginning of my days, my aunt Barbara was the example of a pretty young woman graduating high school with so much life. I had my cousin Tameka, who was always popping up with her beautiful smile. I idolized these young ladies who sang to Destiny's Child and styled their permed hair like Aaliyah. Now, they both are strong grown women who are raising the kids of our future. There were times growing up, when I didn't know anyone but the people around me raising me. Krystal and Janet both were both two of my favorite people church. True definition of family and I always wanted to see them. Of course you had my uncle Yogi but his better half, my lovely aunt Shana. She was right next to my mom during her pregnancy. Their relationship made it almost impossible not to fall down a generation. Meisha was all I knew as a sister. With her boisterous personality yet big heart, I love everything about her. She toughened me up and showed me a lot. Thank God for my keeper. I remember wanting to go to Hinesville with my Aunt Tessa . Oh how I loved hearing her fuss and Diane & Diamond fight to a bloody pulp (I'm totally joking). You know I love the beautiful and headstrong role models you have all become. My godmother Tomeka made my heart warm whenever I was blessed with her presence. I adored her and my mom's relationship. My sister Mica taught me to stay with mind and eyes wide open and Ashley keeps giving me life with the lookssss. Ashley's a wonderful example of how you should treat your body and focus on life. I have great friends around me, like Niq , that I can grow with and encourage along this journey. Kristen radiates love whenever I speak to her and people like that you keep close. I'm so happy to have Lo by my side cheering me on. And I will make sure I do the same. I pray every day to be the luminous woman god intended, because I have positive energy around me. I have to do this for Faith. I have to do this for me. Because those who have contributed to life wants to see more life. Let's reap what we have sewn, ladies. Love you all. 😙
