Landing cushion – the Strong Black Woman
Everyone depends on Me. Yet I am in need of
… Love! Support! Protection! Therapy!
I promise to open up …
Honestly! Authentically! Deliberately!
Witness!
Refined elegance and intelligence
are discernible in my expressive eloquence
Landing – soft and feminine. Cushioned in
… the perceived juxtaposition of strength
and vulnerability; emotion and reason
Effortlessly redefining the Strong …
The Strong Black Woman
single, able-bodied, cis, educated
neurodivergent mother of three
All of that, is just a mere fraction of Me
