The Young. The black. And the Female.

I just recently came back from the island of Barbados and man can I tell you I found the purpose In that beautiful experience. I saw how I can benefit a team and how much of a role I can play in the development of this great big world. In America, everyone is given a role in society based on many different things such as status, earnings, ethnicity, etc. I am 14; I am young; I am a black woman, Young Black Female. Many would see these things as setbacks in America because it is no secret that in America some of the most disrespected people are young people, black people, and females. As the quote says, "Every Setback is a set up for a comeback"-T.D. Jakes. I no longer see these things as setbacks. I see each of these individual things as an opportunity, or set up, to be a comeback for the oppressed. The young. The black. And the female. I may not be old enough for many things, but I am old enough to pray and that is the most powerful privilege of them all.  I may not be able to travel in every part of this world, but I can show my fellow brothers and sisters how it all really began. I may never make as much money as a man does in my field, but I can make some change. So I say be encouraged to the YOUNG, the BLACK, and the FEMALE because you have NOTHING to be ashamed of.
