Myspace LayoutsKanye West made alot of sense with this infamous lyrical metaphor "Everything I'm not makes me everything I am." So in order to tell you and the world about who I am, I'll begin with what I'm not.First, I’ll never be picture perfect Beyonce, being me is good enough, I am not blind or deaf I just voluntarily choose to ignore haters until they fade away. Next, I’m not Terry, I’m not the second eldest, in my family I’m the oldest,I am not my mistakes, my circumstances do not define me instead I am my ambitious, I am not a statistic, or a stereotype of the black family, I am not a product of my environment, I am not trapped, content or imprisoned, or limited, I am not the person you wanted me to be, Thomasville I overcame but did not conquer, to conquer is to educate, to inform, to lead, to change, plans are in the works; I am not the girl I was in high school, when I turned 18 I put away such childish things, I’m doing my grown woman thang, induling in guilty pleasures,perfecting my swag, dreaming of riches, fantasizing of fame, reaching for the stars, aiming for the sun, building a dynasty that Wyona will bless from the heavens, I still don’t have many friends, but I have a few good ones, once a good friend goes bad their gone forever, but when I get famous I hope to add Jay-Z, Kanye, Solange, Rhianna, Jazmine Sullivan (get the album, if you loved Lauryn Hill, you'll lose your mind on this one) and the Simmons girls to the list,..
I ain’t no politician but I’m rocking with Obama, I’m no political analyst either but I’m smart enough to know he will only be president if WE vote, I’m also smart enough to know that this one man can’t fix years, decades, centuries of Black oppression in only four years or eight for that matter.
Myspace LayoutsYes, I am godmother to Ms. Rhianna M. White but I am no one’s baby mama, to label any single mother as such is degrading, I’m not bitter, I am not envious, jealous, crazy, just a little perturbed, confused, what happened, how did we get to this point. A woman on a mission, in today’s black family we MUST hold men more accountable for the children they “voluntarily†bring in this world, abortion is not birth control, and fatherhood is an option when you use a condom, And yes I know I am not the first single mother raising a son by herself but for those of you who are like :â€she needs to let this go†I say walk in my shoes, trust me you’ll fall on the first step. Raising a history maker and world changer is hard work.Next to the skeptics who say I’m only a part time parent, correction, I know how to sacrifice. Give up two years so Jalen can indulge in a lifetime of riches or stay, settle, and struggle. I believe the former is more attractive. I’m certain Jalen will thank me in the long run.I’m sure by know you have learned that I’m not an active listener, you can’t tell me nothing, it may be my downfall or my saving grace, I am not weird, just unique, I didn’t do want the other girls do, if you don’t like it guess what I didn’t make it with you in mind, but the infamous American legends broke the rules and made their own and were called genius by generations to follow, I not working to obtain the American Dream, I am traveling the road to riches, to obtain celebrity, glamour, status, answers, glory, results, and revenge, clothes, shoes, Louis bags, for annual vacations to St. Tropez, Milan, anywhere World with Sha, Arielle, Tesha, and Tasha,I am not the tragic hero, just the unsung hero, the protagonist in the beginning of the struggle, fighting the good fight, trying to empower those who do not know how to speak or write for themselves, those who are afraid to be different, for those whose eyes are open but their mouths are closed shut , I’ll show you how to access the media to have your story told, I embrace being the mouthpiece for black mothers, black girls, black people, the unemployed, the exploited, and victimized until you find a voice of your own I’m not patient either, time is money and yes you can add paperchaser to my repertoire, I want to be an investigative reporter for CNN but I do not want to be Oprah, I want to help people, be good, and live a good life. I admit I am not perfect I do not always know the right answers and I have strayed off course a time or two, but my success is not be my own doing God has a plan for all of us, live your life and your propose will be revealed, (Thanks Shanda) I just hope on my journey being one of Jay-Z’s businesses partner will be on my resume.I’m a lover, a fighter, a free spirit, a habitual partier, a crier, I’m a theater lover, Artistic exhibition is the visual or vocal expression of the mind, brilliance directly from above I gotta gift from the skies to be recognize, I’m lover, a lover of men, of great thoughts, stimulating conversation, impressed more by action and less by meaningless talk. I’m a realist, a visionary, somewhat of an alcoholic, okay a confessed drunk, I’m just a soul whose intentions are good, misunderstood, human is probably more like it, I’m not pulling this shit outta my ass, if you aint dreaming big what’s the use of living, plus a physic read my lifeline and told me in lifetime my name would help light the entire skiline, Philippians 4:13
