ENDURING

As a young black woman, sometimes, enduring can be the most difficult thing. As women, there is a mandate of achievement with no room for failure. However, if we didn't fail sometimes, we wouldn't know what we were capable of gaining. In our desires to accomplish greatness, we have so many people that are always depending on us, our outcomes, out attitudes, our suggestions, our encouragements and the list goes on. Sometimes we have to take our hands and pat ourselves on the back. Its the very thing that's needed when all else encaves you. I was always told that if you did not have anything worth taking, adversity would never knock on your door. It wouldn't have anything to challenge. Women know that everytime you show your presence, it is a presence that denies the defamation, disregard and denote of failure. Your presence says so many things that are priceless. Needless to say, society needs every view of "your presence". So, don't hide it, show it and embrace every stage appearance that you worked so hard back stage to expose. Because no one can do this well but you, no other person can match your presence and the varied ethnicity it exudes. Love each of you! Calandra Robinson
