My Sistahs

Author Unknown

You and I...

We meet as strangers,

each carrying a mystery within us.

I cannot say who you are.

I may never know you completely,

But I trust that you are a person

in your own right

Possessed of a beauty and value

That are the Earth's richest treasures.

So I make this promise to you:

I will impose no identities upon you,

But I will invite you to become yourself

Without shame or fear.

I will open a space for you in the world

And allow your right to fill it with

Authentic vocation and purpose.

For as long as your search takes,

You have my Loyalty

Your Royal Afrikan Sistah,

Princess Ademide Adinasse
