✍🏾 An Ode To A Black Sis

Dear Black Sis💜,

It's okay to spill that tea, it's okay to fall and it's okay to make mistakes. What is not okay is that you stay on the ground after falling.

You need to get up, you have to get up. The world will move on without you, but it's never going to be the same without your brilliant ideas and bold actions.

So take all the time you need to readjust your skirt or shoes after a fall, but make sure to get right on track after the fall.

Sending light and love,

Yaa

Your Black Sister in STEM 💗
