Phyllis Wheatley (First African American Published Poet; c. 1753-1784)
Phyllis Wheatley’s celebrated poetry was rich in theological truths and called for equality for all regardless of the color of one’s skin. Born around 1753 in western Africa, Phyllis was torn from her home at seven years of age and sold to a slave trader. She was purchased by John Wheatley, a wealthy Massachusetts merchant who gave her the family name. Recognizing her sharp mind, the Wheatley family provided her with a rigorous education and supported her literary abilities before finally emancipating her in 1773. Growing up in the Wheatley household, Phyllis was exposed to Christianity and converted when she was 16 years old. Phyllis’ first book of poetry, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, was published in London in 1773 after being rejected by American publishers. She quickly gained fame on both sides of the Atlantic although some people, including Thomas Jefferson, disparaged her work because of her gender and ethnicity.

I’ve hated this woman.
I’ve not loved her at full capacity. I’ve fed her lies & told her she wasn’t good enough and have allowed others to tell her she wasn't good enough. I’ve allowed her to be broken. I've allowed others to treat her disrespectfully.
I’ve allowed her to run through brick walls & battle for others who won’t even stand for her. I couldn’t stop individuals from abandoning her, yet I’ve seen her get up and stand to be a light to the world & love others despite all that. I have stood paralyzed by fear while she fought battles in her mind, heart and soul.
This woman has screwed up many times, as a partner, as a daughter, mom, or as a friend, because she doesn’t always say or do the "right things". She has a smart mouth, and she has secrets. She has scars... because she has a history.
Some people love this woman, some like her, and some people don't care for her at all.
She has done good in her life. She has done bad in her life. She goes days without makeup, or shaving her legs. She doesn’t get dressed up very often. She is random and sometimes silly. She will not pretend to be someone she is not. She is who she is.
Every mistake, failure, trial, disappointment, success, joy, and achievement has made her the woman she is today.
You can love her or not. But if she loves you, she will do it with her whole heart, and she will make no apologies for the way she is.
This Woman is a WARRIOR. She’s not perfect but she has a lot of WORTH! She’s UNSTOPPABLE. Gracefully broken but beautifully standing. She is loved. She is life. She is transformation. She is Grace. She is BRAVE!
Ladies, I dare you to put this on your status, with a picture of yourself, If you’re proud to be who you are.
