Know Self

Berber woman- The Berbers are a part of my own ancestry. Know self, know beauty and know your own intelligence.

There certainly is value in knowing who you are and what you are about.  And for black women this is a must. You can no longer afford to simply just---be. This thing about being just---be…is an EPIC FAIL! All you have to do is just look around you. Know who you are as an individual, what you are capable of, your gifts and talents and your beautiful influence as a feminine woman. Too often we do not know these things about ourselves and it has hurt us in many areas of our self-confidence. The confidence to learn, to move on from personal problems, the confidence to know that we are beautiful and desirable women.  Generally speaking, in western society, we must work a bit harder to maintain our own set of beauty standards(inside and out). Our beauty in reality has not gone by the wayside, this is only an illusion fed to you by the powers that be. For us, it is also important to know our fore mothers and the legacy they have left us. I speak beyond the slave times, reaching backwards when we wore our jewelry, had our businesses, wore our crowns, had our say and knew …just knew…what we were about.

The challenge is: How well do you know thy self?
