My Darling Daughters,
These days are fused with tension and uncertainty triggered by extraordinary events and circumstances. Yet, I remain hopeful, and I know that the good and the beauty in life, in humanity, will prevail.
This is a time that I will take my wisdom as a woman of color and leader to offer lessons and advice to help enhance and advance the world. I will choose to be firm, authentic, and honorable in all that I do. And, I will do so consistently. Will it be hard? Absolutely. However, I know that the power, grace and compassion that reside in me also reside in you. Unleash it! Share it! Let it propel you to a life beyond anything that you’ve ever imagined. A life true and filled with love and opportunity. Our gift is to be present to love and care about those in our community. Jump in with both feet and know that whatever happens, you are capable and resilient. And, you will become stronger because of it.
You are, and have always been enough! Love yourself more than anyone else ever could. Offer only your good and love to the world.
Love,
Mom / Bonus Mom
