Dear Melanin

Melanin, what most don’t understand is that your skin is a gift not a curse, others need to learn how to embrace every crevice and curve, for you were made to shine brighter than the stars above.

Power to the Melanin

I must say that I am so excited for The Melanin Skin Series, to debut on Wednesday, June 3. This has been such an amazing process of being able to continue to connect with some beautiful and gifted souls. I really just want to show the love and appreciation that I as well as others have for our melanin skin. This movement more so is about the strength, courage, beauty, and ever-lasting power that we hold in this world regardless of whether we always feel that way or not. Our resilience and love as a people is unmatched and can never be replaced. I will be sharing a few pieces of writing as well as God willingly soon, some visuals that I feel will tie in well in this project. The upmost thanks goes to God, for never leading me astray and placing so many thrilling ideas to create within me. I am reminded always, to be led by the spirit that is within me, I am reminded always to take it easy and not to work myself out of thinking negatively. I am reminded always, to keep a peace of mind and not to worry about what others may have to say about what the Lord has for me to do and be. I am reminded always of how Inspiring a person can be, I am reminded always to keep the faith and to not get upset if things do not go the way “I planned”. I am reminded always to NEVER give up no matter what obstacles may try to defeat my spirit or try take or destroy away  (but we all know that what God puts together no man can destroy, but figuratively speaking) what God has began. I am reminded always to love, to love even when I don’t feel I am being treated accordingly, to love even when I’m hurt, frustrated, angry, emotionally drained, vulnerable, most of all I am reminded to always be who God has for me to be despite how others may think I should be.

Please, be on the lookout for the Melanin Skin Series that will be premiering in a few days, I believe the Lord is stirring up something quite unbelievable through this movement and beyond. Much love & ultimate blessings to everyone who is apart of this series, please know that I appreciate you immensely, and my love and support for all that you do will remain to stay.

As always,

Much love & peace,

Lord Lead Me

February 28, 2014

Lord lead me to be your instrument more so like as strings are to a guitar in order to play the right keys. Help me to fulfill your word and spread the gospel to those who’ve never heard. let your spirit flow within me, as your words are intertwined through my mind, as my eyes look to you as as a masterpiece of a world full of such greatness and never aging pieces of Gold, as the thoughts of your precious works speak from my lips to a burdened soul, as my fingers move with grace and work hard to do all that you have for me to, as my heart is wrecked daily to be matched up to no one but you, as my feet walk in the footsteps of allowing you every step of the way to guide me now, as my spirit loudly rejoices in your name, giving you Praise, and remembering that its only you that has kept me and gave me the gift of salvation which then has allowed me to be saved.
