Poetry: Kings & Queens

-



Black Women, Black Men! We are Queens! We are Kings!
Strengthen Yourselves, Empower Yourselves,
Embrace your Melanin, Embrace Your Physique.
Embrace your Roots, Embrace the Coils in your Strands.
Embrace who you are, Embrace the impact you have and make on the world.

Our stance makes nations weak,
The way we dance, makes them stumble.
 The color of our skin gleams like gold,
The veins in our body, our eyes, tell of many stories untold.

Our ancestors weep, they cry out to us.
See the Beauty they say! See the Beauty!
Know Your worth they say! Know Your Worth!
Persevere they say! Persevere!
Stand Together they say! Stand Together!
Love one another! Love, they say!

1)   Who are you? I'm Lauren Thomas, a native and  resident of Indianapolis, Indiana. I have my own business in marketing which I found through my love for writing. I've had a love f0r writing since I was a child and have been blessed to be able to figure out a way to monetize that. I am also a mother. I have a six-year-old daughter named Hunter. She lights up my life with her funny, yet “diva-ish” personality.  2) What is your blog, program, agency, organization about? When did it start ? I started my journey as a blogger in January of 2018. Later that year, from the advice of my mom, I made a Fiverr account and started my career as a freelance writer. From there on,  my clients and services grew. I am approaching my third year in business, and while it can be stressful; I am very proud of how far I’ve come.  My blog is a predominately lifestyle blog and can be found at www.laurenenchanted.co .

Devotionals: Speaking My Truth: My Battle with Social Anxiety

  Philippians 4:6-8  ⁶  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  ⁸  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  Since I was a child I struggled with social anxiety. My mom didn't trust people and only allowed me to be around my grandma, grandpa, aunt, cousin, Brandon, and my Godmother, Lisa. When I was around others, I felt scared. I never understood why I felt scared, but knew that I  felt different. When people I didn't know would talk to me, my heart would race, my palms would get sweaty, and I felt like I couldn't talk. From my childhood years to my adult years these feelings kept on. I remember vagu
