There’s no doubt we women
are
strong, smart, and amazing.
As we juggle multiple responsibilities and rack up career successes, we
keep pace in a fast-moving world with the best of them. Still, in doing
our best to succeed, we too often keep silent about what we truly feel
inside, and deny our own creative yearnings.
7Adinkras
supports every woman’s right to express her
authentic self, whether on paper, behind the camera, on stage, in the
studio, or on the airwaves. Few places exist where we can express truly
who we are, so we must take initiative to create these spaces for
ourselves. The more we speak our truths, the greater our courage to
break free from society’s life scripts. We create vibrant alternatives
for ourselves and for all around us. We women, after all, are innately
creative. Our bodies create the next generation of children, and our
spirits create the next generation of thought. We are powerful Mothers
of Vision, birthing ever-greater possibilities for ourselves and our
communities. With our creative power, we can inspire. We can beautify.
We can change the world. The responsibility may seem daunting, but as
women we carry this secret, whispered to us by our bodies… To be
pregnant is to hold the vision of what is to come. From this are we
emboldened to bear the labors of birth. We give thanks for our elder
sisters who have granted us the freedom and courage to express our
authentic selves today. We celebrate all women who are bringing their creative dreams to life, and we urge our silent sisters around the world to lift your pens, your paintbrushes, your microphones, and all individual forms of creative expressions. To all we say, "Sisters, go do your thing!" |
