I Am:
A young, black woman
Yearning to succeed
Striving to reach goals
Determined to fulfill dreams
You Are:
A strong, black woman
Continuously succeeding
Persistently reaching goals
Making real what you are dreaming
As I face each new day
In my heart I believe
I am one step closer
To where I want to be
At times I may stumble
Occasionally I fall
I get right back up
Hardly shaken at all
I find my strength
In women like you
Who remain strong and confident
In all that they do
I want you to know
You are an outstanding leader
Just as you are
A great “African American Achiever”
