On Behalf of Women and Girls

I am

I am

I am an example of love transcending race.

I am the perfect blend of my mother and father.

I am the epiphany the experts call peace.

I am a shining light in a world filled with darkness and hate.

I am an equal in an unequal society.

I am the joy in my mother’s heart.

I am the pride in my father’s eye.

I am the friend you will never let you down.

I am the mentor who will always lift you up.

I am the sister who will always be there.

I am the daughter who will always care.

I am the young girl who dreams of doing incredible things.

I am the woman who will change the world.

I am.
