“This image is a depiction of who we really are. Every time I close my eyes and day dream of us, this is what I see. I see us peacefully sitting in our glory. I see royalty. I see grace. I see beauty. I see authority. I see creativity. I see power. But above all I see love. I could care less about anything you’ve been taught prior to this very moment. This is who you are.

“A woman’s love is one of the BIGGEST gifts to life! Sometimes I think society puts us against each other. Honestly, I don’t think there is anything better than a womans touch, beauty, healing qualities, loyalty and birthing abilities. We bring Life! We bring Joy! We bring Glory and Wisdom. But imagine… just imagine.. for once these spirits coming together with pure intent. It’s magical it’s ground braking and nothing short from a miracle. There is divine completion when we come together! I’m declaring that 2018 is the year of women! We’re gonna be embracing, empowering, uplifting, helping and encouraging each other!”-words from @moshoodat -
