The Traits of A Strong Beautiful Woman of Color

If strength is beauty she'd be drop dead gorgeous

If faith is wealth she'd be filthy rich

If perseverance is water she'd be an ocean

If patience is rain she'd be a storm

If humility is a flood she'd be a tsunami

If love is an animal she'd be a zoo

If determination is a country she'd be a continent

If resilience is a tree she'd be a forest

If loyalty is a disease she'd be an epidemic

Welcome Amina, I look forward to communicating with you. Although the Blog is not too active, I am sure if we just start posting others will follow.
