This tree reminds me where I came from
A legacy of love and power
Each root represents something greater than ourselves
Each leaf and root gave me Life
My language I received from my momma
She birthed me
Taught me that I matter
Reminded me of my beauty
Prepared me for the real world
She taught me to laugh when I felt like crying
She taught me how to dance and create a Business
I call her, "The Giver of Life!"
Through my fathers line Grandma Dorothy came
A PIONEER woman
The first Woman in our family to Pastor a church
When she was criticized, she stayed steady
Held her head high and kept moving
She believed God, prayed daily, and had unwavering faith
I call her, "Networker. "
Ms. Daisy Lee was my Momma mother
She cooked for many
Healed many with her hands
Loved the broken
The greatest Thrift shopper of all time
I call her, "The Planter!"
Aunt Debbie my Dad's sister was always quick tongue, took up for the weak, never back down from a fight, always spoke her mind and stood in her truth. Is an Awesome singer
I call her, "The Fighter!"
Aunt Darlene my fathers baby sister, the Fashinista, singer, writer, Actress, Painter and a Seamtress.
I call her, "Socialite!"
We are connected by God, Blood, love, generations and traditions
You taught me how to love me
I call your name
Our hearts are one
Thank you for giving me a Powerful legacy
