I am

This original piece expresses the wonderful characteristics and traits of a black woman, and how she passes them on to the next generation. 

This beautiful and amazing mother/mother figure understands how critical it is to teach this young girl to love herself.

She spends time affirming that she's one of a kind, and that it's okay to be her natural self.

She lives her life in a way that shows the young girl how fierce she is.

She uplifts the young girl and encourages her to accept the fact that life is everchanging, and constantly reminds her to embrace the ongoing process of transformation. 

She lets her know that beauty and brains are a powerful combination. 

She teaches her to become less reliant upon others for happiness, and to create her own happiness. 

This is her contribution to generational wealth.
