My Sistas' Skin December 20, 2004 • By Lisa Bartley-Lacey
My sista's skin is beautiful
All soft like Baby's Breath
Faint honey tones to pewter-gold
Then sweetest sable depths
My sistas' skin been scarred & torn
Beneath the burgundy
& velvet fields where we were born
My sista...cries to me
My sista's skin done lied to her
To every eye it's found
Except the Truth inside of her
That flows out from her--
napp, kinky, silk or wavy CROWN
My sistas' skin ain't covering
God's most adored Creation
Or Light that mocks the smothering
Of dark repudiation
My sista's skin is beautiful
From her head & all it Knows
To my sistas' ancient Soul
& down out from her toes
My sista's skin is beautiful
Just like my sista's Soul

Have you ever said to yourself, “I wish I could change……….…” or “If I only had larger or smaller…………..…….”? Having a negative body image affects all of us at one time or another. Unfortunately, because of low self-esteem or personal experiences, it haunts some more than others. But, even if you've learned to love your body and have come out of the “I wish” phase, mostly all women can sympathize with our girlfriends, daughters, sisters and mothers that still have to learn how to embrace, accept and love themselves. This article is for all my girlfriends who have felt the disappointment of trying on that pair of jeans that used to fit last year.

Inescapable media images of sexed-up girls and women posing as adolescents can cause psychological and even physical harm to adolescents and young women, a study in the US has warned. |
