Embrace Yourself Little Black Girl


Those traits don’t define who you are within.

Embrace Yourself Little Black Girl
Inspired by: My niece, a kick-ass real estate agent!, who is contemplating her natural style.
Embrace yourself Little Black Girl
From your kinky hair to your chocolate skin.
Embrace your lips, your curves, your smile and style
Display them with confidence and a little flare
As others look and wonder about the source of radiance you bare.
Your gifts are uniquely crafted mysteries
Like pieces of a puzzle connected
Creating priceless art of your history.
Embrace yourself Little Black Girl
Your journey is not for everyone to understand
Your strength and power to continue on will not come from man
Look in the mirror and the girl you see
Embrace her! She holds the key
To a life of love and joy that only comes from within
Beneath the kinky hair and chocolate skin.
Embrace yourself Little Black Girl
You are a sight to behold!
Uniquely and wonderfully made
By a God whose love is worth more than silver and gold.

FUNds for College

Here we go!!!!!!! CultivatED Living is on the way.. I want to start it all off by sharing opportunities to earn money to pay for college. What good is me knowing all this information and not do anything with it? This is for: college students, high school students preparing for college, a graduate student needing money to stay in college, and parents  planning for their children's college.  Now in order for any of this to work you need an email that you plan to check regularly!

Season Opening....

Schools across the nation are now in session. Along with the initial hustle and bustle of a  new school year, are placement tests and academic reviews and updates.

My son is a junior in high school and is ADHD.  In the education system, they label it 504 and he is required to have an IAP (Individual Academic Plan). Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 grants rights to students with disabilities.
