#BlackHistoryMonth: Black Queen #FoodforThought

10 Feb

“It is rumored that we were soft. Had cumulus cloudy laps a man could lay his troubles upon. Honey-dipped tongues that spoke sweetness in the mornings. Embraces that chased the Devils away. We were soft. Rumor has it that we could tame the beast of a man with a whisper. Grew and glued our families together. We were Angels that walked on land…a silent strength. We uplifted each other. We were soft. I don’t know exactly what happened. We are hard now. Rigid, bruised, and broken. We have lost our magic. Now we curse the morning. Where is our elegance and mystery? Our dignity and grace? For our daughters’ sake, we were soft. Weren’t we?”
