5. “Womanifesto”
Clearly I am not a fat a**
I am active brain
And lip smacking peach deep
Sometimes too aggressive in its honesty
And heart sweet
That loves wholly and completely
Whom it may choose
Whom ever it may choose
Strong legs that stroll off the 33 bus
Or out of a money green
Phantom comfortably
Knees that bend to pray
Clean from Ajax washings
Hair that is thick and soft
Thighs that betwixt
An amazing all expense grand prize
I am eyes that sing
Smile that brightens
Touch that rings
And supplies euphoric release
I am a Grand Dame Queen Beast
I am friend to pen
And a lover of strong women
A diamond to men
I am curious and interested like
children
I welcome the wise to teach
Appreciator of my culture
Thick not just from bone
dense and eat
I have a rhythm in my ways
And a practice in my seek
And yes, I do crave the
rhythm of my space
With a man that rejoices in
God's Grace
With faith I do hear to listen
Two hands that fist
When forced pushes to shove
And your ego won't submit
I am gifted
I am all of this
And indeed the sh**
Clearly I am not just an a**
~Jill Scott

6. My Song
The song describes me to be:
• I am a woman of substance.
• My personality should not be judged by
my gender, race, or my outer appearance
and I have more to offer than just my
sexual attributes.
My attachment to the song:
• The artist chose traits and characteristics
that described me.
• She defined my strongest and dearest
personal traits.
• Her description did not reform to how
society views women of color but instead
expressed how she views herself and that is
the way I view myself as well.

7. • My Personality is a collection of positive and negative traits such as
my mood, my behavior, my perceptions, and my beliefs.
• It is the main ingredients “flavors” and my personal recipe of me.
