Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou:
“Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman.
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman.
That’s me”
Celebrating National Women’s Day!
Enjoy your day!
Always Your Champion,
Dr. Thomasinia Ortiz-Gallegos
