I am not shy because I stand out, I rest comfortable in my skin.
Wealth could ever make me because poverty didn’t break me.
Even when I have less, a great portion of my life is lived in a Pay it Forward frame of Mind.
I was born to be a Wild Flower.
I am a lover of Dance, Big Skirts and the Fairytale.
Hello, my name is Arlinda the peculiar girl that waltzes in the smoke of sweetgrass.
I am a teacher and student of life.
I am all this and thanks to Beverly Bond I am reminded often that “I am a Black Woman who Rocks”!
