Ladies, queens, warriors – today, we gather here to honor the spirit that resides within us, the spirit that rises, unyielding, from every challenge and every scar. We are goddesses, forged in the fires of resilience, crowned by the courage it takes to be exactly who we are. We are not defined by what we lack; we are defined by what we hold within us – strength, vulnerability, and the power to rewrite our stories. The world may have told us what beauty should look like, what womanhood should be, but we say differently. We defy those whispers of doubt, the eyes that linger too long, and the expectations that would cage us. We say, ‘Look again and see who I truly am.’ In a world that asks us to hide our truth, we choose to show up as our raw, bold selves. We are not bound by their definitions – we are boundless, free, and fierce. Every scar, every choice, every battle we have faced makes us not less but infinitely more. So, let us wear our crowns unapologetically. Let us own our beauty, which is unique, authentic, and uncompromising. Stand tall, sisters, because the world is watching. And we, the goddesses, are ready to rise. Together, we are powerful beyond measure and we are unstoppable. - @theebooblessbabe
