What is peace?
Calm.
Inner strength.
Congruency
in mind and body.
Today,
I find peace being a woman.
In America, I,
like many women,
can feel peace.
To know that my story, my being
matters.
To know that if I stand up
and speak,
I am no longer “a nasty woman.”
To know that my voice is
worthy of being heard.
To know that, no matter my age, race, religion, or skin tone,
as a woman,
I matter.
That my education
shouldn’t be frightening,
but should be valued.
I matter.
So do you.
There is still work to be done.
But the strides are being taken.
We can continue this move, this energy
by talking,
sharing our stories,
and supporting one another.
I am here,
and I am worthy of being
heard.
So are you.
