A Black Woman

by Elle Hood • June 2, 2020

I AM the change I want to see in the world.

I AM a child of the most high.

I AM deeply connected with the Universe.

I AM in tune with my true self & life’s purpose.

I AM resilient.

I AM love.

I AM strong.

I AM courageous.

I AM persistent.

I AM down.

I AM full blooded African American, with hair like wool, skin like silk, features perfected by God himself and the soul and decorum of a Queen.

I will not be stopped,

silenced,

bullied,

avoided,

belittled.

I will be present.

I am a BLACK WOMAN.

I am currently putting my energy into myself while studying for the bar exam, and completing my first book. My favorite thing to write about is current events, my life or what is going on around me. Writing affects my mental health greatly as it is the best outlet! Writing puts me in a good zen-like mood. Harness empowers me as a woman because it is a no judgement, free flowing publishing platform just for women. It's a home, in a sense that you can feel comfortable as well as go to Instagram and find inspirational and self-care tips.
