[...] me for my voice if I did. Sassy gave me the courage to speak my own truth, quietly and clearly (shoutout to the Desiderata). Sassy showed me I could keep it 100% on paper and in real life – I didn’t have to put [...]

This is one of my favorite poems. My mother has a copy hanging up in the house, and I have my own copy as well.

An awesome post. I had not heard of the poem….I will be getting a copy of it ASAP. Thanks as always Afrobella for sharing good stuff!

Also, thanks for sharing about Larry Peterman too. I’m going to check out his blog.

I love the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley. Desiderata is an awesome poem and has also just become a favorite of mine. Your blog is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

I’m thankful for the Mrs. Silveras of the world. I have my own, who impacted my little 10 year old mind in a way I don’t think she could ever truly know. God bless all the educators who make a positive impact on young minds!

Also, I’m thankful that you posted this. I’ve heard of the Desiderata (b/c of the copyright issues surrounding it) but never actually sat down and read it. It’s beautiful and I really needed it in this moment. Thank you for sharing what you love with your readers.

Hey bella! Longtime reader here…before I “met” you I thought natural hair meant not wearing a weave! Lol anyways I L-O-V-E your blog, but I’m not digging the new setup. The afrobella logo is amazing, and should be more prominently featured as part of your “brand.” Also I like when the link to the comments are at the bottom of blog posts and not the top so you don’t have to scroll up once you finish reading. Its also a bit difficult to read in grey. In my opinion (but i’m no expert) the old setup actually looked a bit more professional. Keep up the good work
