Daily Affirmations of Becoming

From the book In Her Silence (Chapter 4 - The Event)

There is power in being seen. But there is greater power in becoming someone you respect before the world confirms it. Some of you know exactly what it is to rebuild after betrayal. After being overlooked. After giving too much of yourselves to places and people that mistook your strength for endless availability. Some of you have spent years surviving rooms that never intended to make space for your full weight. And still, you are here.
