DAILY MANTRA FOR THE AAFROQWEEN

Aafroqween Creed


I am a woman living from the inside out

I am here as a commitment to my highest self

I am here to embrace my blessings

I am a woman valuing my health and loving me for me

I am here facing my fears and using my gifts for the benefit of the world

I am a woman living from the inside out

Quote of Note: In the Words of a Sistah Qween

“I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.”
MAYA ANGELOU

“It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower Is to bloom.”
ALICE WALKER

Aafroqween Sanctuary Womanifesto

Aafroqween’s Sanctuary A Healing Space for Women

Aafroqween’s Womanifesto

Aafroqween’s Sanctuary is a portal to the inner space of the lives of women of color.

We are a pathway to a new reality.

We are the reflection of love, grace and creation upon which the world is dependent.

We are a sacred journey to the purity of our original source within.

We are a standard of modern womanhood that leads to the eradication of disease and disenfranchisement into a reality of liberation, prosperity and healing.

Facing the most dire of statistical demographics for disease and death in this country, women of color are constantly engaged in a brutal daily battle for life, health and worth. A battle through which by our very nature, we continue to leap, glide, dance and sing. All the while we are being struck down by the bullets of poverty, hunger and stress; sexism, objectification and miseducation. We are misrespresented by the media and devalued by those who we are innately bound to birth, nurture and support. Our degradation has become such a common paradigm, we have begun to lose our sense of connection to our own design and our children suffer for our increasing demise.

Despite these facts, the truth of our existence is one that still transcends external forces that seem to be bent on the destruction of one of the world’s most precious natural resources. The resilience of the dark feminine is reflected in our contributions to our families, our society, to times gone by and the present. Yet, still, the recognition, support and place of honor that should be bestowed upon the woman of color in her home, community and the accounts of history are still sorely lacking. This has created a conflict of self image for women and girls in this country of desperate and often tragic proportions.

Aafroqween’s Sanctuary is women living from the inside our, putting our hearts and souls first so that we can live, love and serve from a whole and healthy place.

Aafroqween’s Sanctuary is women focusing internally, allowing the grace that is our well being and connection to our divine source to flow outward and rectify external conditions, instead of letting outside forces to continually disrupt our equilibrium.

Aafroqween’s Sanctuary is women reclaiming the worth and value that has been stripped away by the grinding friction of mistreatment, abandonment, betrayal, exhaustion, competition, inequity, calamity or disillusionment.

Aafroqween’s Sanctuary is a sacred journey within.

"lovewords" is my remembrance of myself. It is the way in which I live according to my belief that simultaenously I am part of and all of The Universe, living this human life to experience my own magnificence. I am a part of the diviity of all creation...we all are. By speaking words from a place called love, I affirm all that I am and all that I know. I affirm all that others are and all that they know. By speaking words from a place called love we can defeat fear. By speaking from a place called love we can truly be ourselves--the physical embodiment of the divine creative force that is life. Love is not a fantasy, a luxury, or a gift. Love is a birthright, a driving force, a pure thing. Love is my choice.

Holy is Her Water

Holy, like the air
she gave me to breathe
Is my love of her.
Blue hues of joy color my aura
When her accented voice utters praise.

I am coming forth by day.

Disruptions are not allowed as I build and rebuild.
Space is only opened by the carver
not me.

I script my story a lot more haltingly than I used to
And manage to somehow still be at peace.

tell me why

for the first time, i am "doing" a love relationship the right way. no plans to marry. no living with me before i've decided whether or not having a job matters. no unnecessary explanations to my children because there are no pdas before them. no waking up and walking into mommy's room and wondering, "Who the hell is that?" Nope. This time, I decided to be smart. Have not even told my closest friends about this one. I'm watching, I'm waiting. For the first time, maybe I am actually making a man… Continue

something new, the truth to all of this, revealed, open and unabashedly...visit, comment, and share experiences. I think I'll have a good mixture of hoodfolk, intellectuals, nationalists, poets...hopefully, some emcees, and the thing that will get me killed one day...young, good-looking men... we'll see what happens.

"...not dreaming something she was supposed to be dreaming."



A sister friend of mine has this quote tagged to the bottom of her e-mails and it struck me like a brick! I learned it is from Toni Morrison's Tar Baby which I read so long ago, I think I was a teenager. I don't recall the context but I can't shake the notion as it fits me right now. Seems like it has always fit me. I feel like I am always on the brink of knowing something I should know but always stepping around, or over… Continue
